Reasons for heavy menstrual flow after childbirth

Most new mothers' first menstrual period after childbirth will be slightly heavier than usual and the bleeding time will be slightly longer. The reasons may be:

1. Continuous anovulation after childbirth causes excessive secretion of ovarian estrogen, which stimulates the endometrium to proliferate, so the amount of bleeding will increase during shedding. If your menstrual period gradually returns to normal, there is generally no need for treatment.

2. Mental factors: excessive fatigue and stress of new mothers can cause heavy menstrual flow.

3. Caused by organic gynecological diseases, such as uterine fibroids, uterine polyps, etc.

If the amount of bleeding during the first menstrual period after delivery continues to increase and the bleeding time is too long (more than 7 days or the normal time before delivery), you should go to the hospital for further examination and treatment.
