Menstruation during the third month of breastfeeding

Many female friends usually get their period in the third month of breastfeeding, which makes them feel very anxious. But in fact, there is no need to worry, because this situation is quite common. The breastfeeding period itself is a state of regulating the body, so it is easy to cause abnormal reactions in their menstruation. So as long as you observe regularly, there will be no big problem.

The menstrual period is generally about five to seven days

The amount of menstrual blood will be heavier in the first 1 to 3 days, and sometimes blood clots will appear, accompanied by dull pain in the lower abdomen. At this time, you can eat fried pork liver with sesame oil and ginger. In addition to supplementing iron, sesame oil and ginger also have the function of activating blood circulation, which is conducive to the smooth discharge of menstrual blood and blood clots.

After three days, you can eat pork kidney fried with sesame oil to help the contraction of the uterus and drain the menstrual blood. If you think this is too troublesome, you can actually eat sesame oil chicken or brown sugar ginger soup during the entire menstrual period.

The uterus contracts and discharges menstrual blood.

However, all of the above foods are relatively hot in nature. They are not suitable for people with a hot constitution or skin allergies (urticaria), obesity, high blood pressure, and high blood lipids. These people can instead have spinach and pork liver soup, pork blood soup, ginger and fish soup, or drink some chicken soup at the end of each period, or during menstruation, just pay attention to a balanced diet and eat more foods rich in calcium and iron such as: black sesame, spinach, seaweed, kelp, grapes, apples, and avoid ice cream and green tea.

Although it is unlikely that a woman will get pregnant during her menstrual period, nothing is absolutely impossible for her to get pregnant. Since sperm can survive for up to a week after entering the female body, fertilization can be achieved once it encounters an egg. For some women, ovulation happens to coincide with their menstrual period, so the possibility of pregnancy is very high. From this we can see that safe period contraception is not necessarily absolutely safe.

Under normal circumstances, menstruation is bright red, without purple or dark blood clots. Once menstruation with blood clots occurs, it is often accompanied by dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea often causes patients to become mentally tense and emotionally unstable. Women who have blood clots during their menstruation are believed by traditional Chinese medicine to be suffering from blood stasis, and often have symptoms of qi stagnation and blood stasis, such as rough, dull facial skin and acne. Some patients experience facial pigmentation, which directly affects their facial beauty.
