What is the reason for less menstrual flow after cesarean section

Many women may need to choose a cesarean section when giving birth. In recent years, medical standards have continued to improve, making cesarean section technology very sophisticated and able to prevent the occurrence of some complications after childbirth. However, there are also many women who experience less menstrual flow after a caesarean section. So what is the reason for less menstrual flow after cesarean section?

Regardless of whether it is a caesarean section or a natural birth, the first menstrual period after giving birth is generally short and irregular. The time interval between menstruation and the amount of menstruation may vary depending on the situation of pregnancy preparation. After a few menstrual periods, the condition will remain stable. If the mother's menstrual cycle is irregular, she can go to the hospital for consultation and examination. It may also be due to the following reasons:

1. Deficiency of both Qi and blood. Pregnant women with weak constitutions, or internal bleeding during the delivery process, will suffer from deficiency of both Qi and blood, thus leading to reduced menstrual volume. It is also possible that you did not sleep well after giving birth, and due to long-term care for the baby, you become physically tired, weak, and have less menstrual flow.

2. Endocrine changes. If you don't have good medical care after giving birth and endometritis or inflammation of the uterus and ovaries occurs, your endocrine function will be affected, leading to scanty menstruation. Therefore, you should pay attention to B-ultrasound examinations and also pay attention to the recovery of the uterus.

3. Influence of mentality. If a pregnant woman is in a bad mood, is always angry, or has a tendency to depression after giving birth, it is very easy to affect the endocrine system, leading to decreased menstrual periods or even amenorrhea. Therefore, women should pay attention to adjusting their mood after giving birth to avoid affecting their health.

If it has been several months since the pregnant woman's menstrual period, but the menstrual flow has not returned to normal, she should go to the hospital for relevant examinations to find out the cause and deal with it in time. Generally, women's scanty menstrual flow is closely related to physical weakness, and they should do a good job of conditioning so that the condition of scanty menstrual flow can be gradually resolved. In addition, you must do a good job of keeping warm during menstruation, avoid catching cold, eat cold foods, and also pay attention to avoid excessive fatigue.
