Why is there less menstrual flow after giving birth?

From the time of our first menarche, the amount of menstruation begins to become stable. Unless we are infected with some special diseases or are approaching menopause, the amount of menstruation will not change much. But for some people, the amount of menstruation becomes very little after giving birth, or even stops. What's going on? Let’s take a look at what the doctor says.

1. Why does menstrual flow decrease after childbirth?

Small menstrual volume after childbirth is usually related to endocrine disorders, such as abnormal secretion of various hormones or anovulation; in addition, it may be due to the endometrium itself, such as thinning of the endometrium after childbirth. Of course, certain mental factors such as excessive tension, fatigue, depression, etc. may also cause irregular menstruation or reduced menstruation. If the examination is normal, generally you only need to pay attention to menstrual protection, prevent cold, do not eat raw and cold food, and do not overwork.

2. What to do if your menstrual flow is small

Many women experience physical discomfort during their menstrual period. Therefore, three days before your period, you can decide the form of exercise according to your own situation, focusing on gentle, soothing, relaxing and stretching exercises, such as meditative yoga, Wenmaishu sports massage, elementary body gymnastics, or just doing some simple stretching exercises at home. On the fifth day of the menstrual period, the body begins to recover and you can start doing aerobic exercises such as slow walking and jogging. However, you should still avoid some ball games and heavy weight sports.
