Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
The return of menstruation after childbirth is a natural physiological phenomenon. The time of recovery varies, with some women experiencing it as early as after the postpartum month, while others may not see it return until their child is one year old. When menstruation resumes, milk production generally decreases, and the quality of protein and fat in the milk may slightly change, with protein content being slightly higher and fat content being slightly lower. This milk may sometimes cause digestive issues in infants, but this is a temporary phenomenon that will return to normal after the menstrual period. Therefore, whether during the menstrual period or after it, there is no need to stop breastfeeding, and it is still important to continue breastfeeding for a certain period.
