What should I do if my menstruation is irregular after weaning?

Many pregnant women experience irregular menstruation after giving birth and are very worried about whether there is something wrong with their bodies. Many people also worry about whether they are pregnant or not when their menstruation does not come. In fact, anyone who knows a little about medicine will know that this situation is a normal physiological condition. Because every woman's physical constitution is different, this condition also varies from person to person. So when it comes to menstruation, first of all, you must not be too anxious psychologically and maintain a normal schedule and diet.

If the mother does not breastfeed, her period will come about 6 to 8 weeks after delivery. The amount of the first menstrual period after childbirth is not constant. Some people have more, while others have very little. For mothers who breastfeed, their period may be very late. Some mothers said that their period did not come until the 18th month after giving birth. This may be because breastfeeding increases the prolactin in the body and inhibits ovulation, so menstruation does not come.

However, this does not represent the situation of all people. It should be said that if you are breastfeeding regularly and your menstruation is not coming, this is a normal phenomenon. However, if you are not breastfeeding and your menstruation was normal before pregnancy, but your menstruation still has not come after 3 months after delivery, it is best to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department for examination.

Due to endocrine changes after childbirth, the ovaries of most women cannot resume function immediately, and thus a period of amenorrhea occurs after childbirth. Some people believe that women who breastfeed after giving birth do not ovulate and do not have menstruation, which is not entirely correct. The average time that women do not ovulate after giving birth is 70 days, and about 40% of women ovulate for the first time before menstruation resumes.

How long it takes to resume menstruation after delivery varies from individual to individual, but it usually takes about 6 months after delivery. Breastfeeding can delay the resumption of menstruation in some people. According to statistics, among women who fully breastfeed, about one-third of them resume menstruation within three months after delivery, and the earliest is eight weeks after delivery. However, some people do not resume menstruation until one to one and a half years after delivery, and some people do not even have menstruation during the entire breastfeeding period. Among women who do not breastfeed after giving birth, about 91% resume menstruation within 2 months after giving birth, generally 6 to 8 weeks after giving birth, and some resume menstruation 4 to 6 days after giving birth. The time for menstruation to resume and the first menstruation to resume for some non-breastfeeding women is similar to that of breastfeeding women. Therefore, contraceptive measures should also be taken during breastfeeding.

Above we have introduced in detail the situation of pregnant women after giving birth. We hope it will be helpful to everyone. In this case, everyone can prescribe the right medicine according to their own physical characteristics. Maintain a good mood and state to deal with this matter. Many people will be worried and impatient after encountering such things. I hope that introducing the above situation to you will be of great help to our body.
