Interval between first menstruation and second menstruation

Most women hope to breastfeed, which is very beneficial to the recovery of the uterus and can also stimulate the secretion of more milk to meet the baby's nutritional needs. Many women are particularly concerned about menstruation after giving birth, so how long is the interval between the first and second menstruation after giving birth?

In fact, whether you choose a natural birth or a caesarean section, if a woman does not choose to exclusively breastfeed, the time for menstruation to resume is generally about 6 to 8 weeks after the birth of the baby. The interval between the first and second menstruation is about 21 to 35 days, which is within the normal range. However, if you are breastfeeding, the time interval between the two menstruations will be quite different, and may exceed 35 days, which is also normal.

Many pregnant women have abnormal menstruation. Some can change it through conditioning, but some cannot. If you want to regulate menstruation, you should eat more foods containing iron, because each menstrual period may be more, which will make the body weaker. In this case, it is easy to have symptoms of anemia, so you must supplement more iron foods.

1. Interval 28-30 days

The so-called menstruation means that menstruation will be discharged every 28-30 days, and this cycle is nearly one month, so it is called menstruation. Therefore, the time from the first to the second menstruation of a girl should also be 28-30 days, and then she will have her menstruation every month until she stops menstruating at the age of 45-50, except during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Of course, when a girl has her first period, her ovaries may not be fully developed, so her menstrual cycle may not be regular. It may be two months or several months before the second menstruation. However, as she grows and develops, her menstrual period will gradually return to normal, so there is no need to worry. However, if the cycle is still abnormal after one or two years, you need to see a doctor, as it may not only be a growth problem.

2. Duration of menstrual period

Under normal circumstances, each menstruation should last about 3-7 days. If it is less than 3 days, or more than 7 days, it is abnormal, either too little menstruation or too much menstruation. Too little menstruation may be caused by malnutrition and ischemia of the body, while too much menstruation may be abnormal bleeding. If it exceeds 10 days, you need to see a doctor immediately, find the bleeding spots, and treat it with medication.
