Does the menstruation after childbirth mean that the uterus has recovered?

Women who have just given birth are still more concerned about the body's recovery. After all, childbirth has a certain impact on women's bodies, especially their uterus. Women who have just given birth are most concerned about when their period will come and the recovery of their uterus. So, is the uterus repaired during the menstrual period after delivery?

There is no definite relationship between the menstrual period after childbirth and the uterus. Many women think that the menstrual period after childbirth is an expression of the recovery of the female body. In fact, the menstrual period after childbirth has little to do with the recovery of the female body. From the reason point of view, postpartum menstruation and breastfeeding are related to the changes in female hormones in the body.

Women who do not breastfeed after giving birth usually have their periods about three months after giving birth. If a woman is breastfeeding after childbirth, her period usually starts about four to six months after giving birth. However, for some breastfeeding women, their menstrual period will start one year after giving birth. Therefore, the timing of menstruation after delivery has nothing to do with uterine repair.

In fact, women don’t need to worry about how long it takes for their period to come after giving birth. Until the body gradually recovers, the period will come soon. Once your menstrual period comes, you must pay more attention to rest, especially pay attention to your underwear and the replacement of sanitary napkins. In addition, if you do not have your period after giving birth, you still need to pay attention to some issues related to contraceptive measures.

Precautions for contraception after childbirth

(1) Many diseases can change a woman’s ovulation time, such as endocrine diseases, kidney diseases, etc. If you use "safe period" contraceptive measures during this period, you may accidentally get pregnant.

(2) Sexual intercourse during menstruation is generally not likely to lead to pregnancy, but there is a possibility of unexpected ovulation during the menstrual period, and sexual intercourse during menstruation is very likely to cause infection, which has more harm than good.

(3) If a woman is in menopause and has vaginal bleeding, she should wait until the fourth day after the bleeding stops before having sex, as this type of bleeding may be caused by ovulation.

(4) If you are switching from birth control pills to period contraception, you may experience extra ovulation or irregular menstruation in the first few months after taking emergency contraception, so you should avoid using safe period contraception during these months.
