No menstruation for more than a year during breastfeeding

I believe many mothers know that menstruation will be stopped during breastfeeding. However, the menstrual period always stops for a period of time, and it is not easy to have no menstruation after the breastfeeding period. Today we will find out why there is no menstruation for one year during breastfeeding?

The reason why pregnant women do not have menstruation during breastfeeding is that their endocrine system has not yet recovered to the level of normal women. However, if they do not have menstruation for a year during breastfeeding, it means that their endocrine system has not yet recovered, and mothers need to stop breastfeeding. After stopping breastfeeding, her female hormones will return to normal and her menstrual periods will also return.

What mothers also need to understand is that the time it takes for everyone to recover their menstrual period after childbirth is different. The metabolism of lactogen in women during breastfeeding affects the onset of menstruation. Generally, the menstrual period will resume within 3 to 6 months after stopping breastfeeding. If the menstrual period has not resumed within 3 to 6 months, you need to go to the hospital to consult a doctor. If you are worried, you can also go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination.

Some mothers may think that if their period does not come, they will not ovulate during breastfeeding. In fact, ovulation is possible even if they do not have their period during breastfeeding. Therefore, female friends should actively use contraceptive methods to prevent pregnancy during breastfeeding.

The level of secretion hormone in women's bodies is higher during breastfeeding, which can inhibit women's ovulation. Some women do not have menstruation during the entire breastfeeding period. Don't worry if this happens. You don't need to take oral medication for treatment. It is actually a physiological phenomenon. After stopping breastfeeding, the woman's menstrual cycle will naturally resume. In addition, some women, although they exclusively breastfeed during lactation, quickly resume ovulation, for example, they resume menarche 3-6 months after giving birth. This is more common in some patients. Although women do not have menstruation during breastfeeding, it is possible that they have normal ovulation. Therefore, when women have sex during breastfeeding, they should adopt certain contraceptive methods to avoid the occurrence of accidental pregnancy during breastfeeding.
