My period came 3 times and then stopped during breastfeeding

After a period of breastfeeding, women's menstruation will occur soon, which is also one of the signs that everyone can judge their health. With the popularization of basic knowledge of pregnancy, everyone can properly deal with the problem of menstruation during breastfeeding, but mothers also have menstrual abnormalities at this stage. What if my menstruation stops after 3 times during breastfeeding?

The condition of amenorrhea after childbirth is mainly common in long-term breastfeeding and Han's syndrome caused by postpartum hemorrhage and infection. In addition, excessive secretion of growth hormone in the body's breast milk will inhibit ovulation and cause amenorrhea.

Before giving birth, although the concentration of breast milk hormone in pregnant women is high, due to the influence of estrogen, breast milk hormone cannot play its role. After the embryo is delivered, the effect of milk secretion hormones increases due to the sharp drop in estrogen concentration in the body. Generally speaking, breast milk secretion of growth hormone will not respond to pre-pregnancy levels until half a month after delivery. However, in breastfeeding pregnant women, the secretion of breast milk hormone not only remains higher than before pregnancy, but also increases due to the response of the baby's sucking.

The low estrogen level of breastfeeding women without menstruation can even last for 180 days. Therefore, as long as the mother is breastfeeding, her menstrual period should not come too early. Of course, there are huge differences between different people. In addition, some pregnant women breastfeed for too long, resulting in uterine wall atrophy and amenorrhea.

Another major form of amenorrhea occurs in pregnant women with postpartum hemorrhage with shock, severe postpartum infection, or localized intravascular coagulation. This disease can cause amenorrhea, the so-called Han syndrome. This disease can also affect the metabolic function of the thyroid gland, causing symptoms such as weight loss, indigestion, chills, fatigue, genital atrophy, low metabolism and hair loss, which require medical treatment.
