After giving birth, my period stopped again.

With the popularization of basic knowledge of pregnancy, everyone can deal with the problem of menstruation during lactation appropriately, but mothers also have menstrual abnormalities at this stage. The various functions of a woman who has just given birth have not yet returned to normal levels, and abnormalities in her physical and mental states are likely to occur. Especially when it is very easy to have gynecological diseases such as menstrual disorders and menstrual stagnation, then, what happened if the menstruation stopped again after giving birth? Let’s take a look at the detailed introduction.

What if my period stops after giving birth?

Menstruation is the physiological cycle of independent shedding of the uterine wall and abnormal bleeding in the vagina or uterus, which usually occurs once a month, so this phenomenon is called "menstruation". Menstruation is closely related to women's fertility. Menstruation will stop during pregnancy and will resume on schedule after giving birth. But sometimes there are some special circumstances that may cause irregular menstruation. Generally speaking, there may be the following reasons for the cessation of menstruation after childbirth.

1. Women's hormone metabolism is generally very easy to be unbalanced during breastfeeding. Prolactin is usually secreted excessively during this period, and estrogen decreases to a certain extent, causing an imbalance in estrogen metabolism levels, resulting in irregular menstruation.

2. Pregnant women are generally very weak after giving birth, and their uterus, pelvis and other reproductive organs are still recovering. Some mothers are even prone to anxiety, sadness, depression and other negative emotions after giving birth. The accumulation of many factors will also cause menstrual disorders.

3. During breastfeeding, you should also pay attention to contraceptive measures. If you have sex at this time but do not use contraceptive methods, it will lead to the risk of unmarried pregnancy.

What to do if you have amenorrhea after giving birth

Amenorrhea after childbirth is a symptom of physiological abnormality and therefore must be treated as soon as possible. Of course, we need to treat the symptoms, scientifically treat the disease, and regulate the body well. There are many reasons for amenorrhea, and eliminating the cause is the most effective treatment. For those whose ovaries have already declined, the only treatment is estrogen and estrogen replacement therapy. Common treatment methods are as follows.

1. Medication treatment:

(1) Gonadotropin: Suitable for postpartum amenorrhea caused by low pituitary function.

(2) Clomiphene: Suitable for polycystic ovary syndrome, amenorrhea after emergency contraception, amenorrhea and lactation syndrome, and anorexia nervosa, etc. Starting from the 5th day of bleeding after withdrawal of luteal copper, take 50 mg once a day for 5 days. If failure occurs, the dose can be increased to 100 mg per day for 5 days.

(3) Artificial cycle therapy: It can regulate the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary. For usage, see Question 306. After 3 cycles, stop taking the medicine and observe.

(4) Estrogen: A small amount of estrogen can stimulate the function of the pituitary gland. Take 0.125-0.25 mg of ethotripsy once a day at night for 20 days a month.

2. Surgical treatment: surgical removal of pituitary tumors, uterine and ovarian tumors, adrenal tumors, etc. Plastic surgery is performed on those with reproductive system deformities.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: Treatment is based on syndrome differentiation and has certain effects.

4. Eliminate the causes of the disease: such as eliminating stressful factors, rationally arranging work, food, housing and life, improving nutrition, and correcting underweight. Stop breastfeeding if it is too long. Treat a variety of special diseases throughout the body. Discontinue use of emergency contraception and any medications that may cause amenorrhea.
