Is it normal to have menstruation after the confinement period?

Every woman will be very weak after giving birth. She will not have her menstruation during the ten months of pregnancy. However, after the confinement period, all aspects of the body's functions will return to normal and the endometrium will return to its original state. It is normal to have your menstruation right after the confinement period. At this time, the ovaries begin to produce eggs. You must remember the menstrual cycle and be sure not to have sex too frequently to prevent inflammation of the uterus.

1. From a medical point of view, based on the tissue morphology of the endometrium, the ovaries may ovulate as early as 33-42 days after delivery. In addition, the presence of a corpus luteum after ovulation can also be observed 6 weeks after delivery. Therefore, if the mother is not breastfeeding, menstruation usually comes within 6-8 weeks after delivery.

Guidance:

Research data show that 40% of non-breastfeeding mothers resume ovulation 6 weeks after delivery; by 8-12 weeks after delivery, only about 35% of mothers have not resumed ovulation and menstruation. About 25% of breastfeeding mothers will resume ovulation and menstruation 12 weeks after delivery, and most breastfeeding mothers usually take until 18 weeks to fully resume ovulation function. However, it is sometimes difficult to clinically determine the exact time of the first menstrual period after delivery, and a small number of women will begin to have intermittent bleeding of small to moderate amounts immediately after delivery.

2. Postpartum lochia is usually discharged within three weeks. In your case, it is considered to be postpartum uterine involution and poor bleeding. Guidance:

It is recommended to have a B-ultrasound examination. If there is no obvious abnormality, oxytocin can be injected to strengthen uterine contraction and hemostasis treatment, and antibiotics can be taken to prevent infection.

3. Most people will have their period about a week after giving birth. This is due to breast milk. Guidance:

However, there are very few people who will get their period one month after giving birth. So this is okay, it should be normal.

4. Everyone's situation is different. Pay more attention to keeping warm, getting more rest, and supplementing nutrition. After menstruation comes, if you are breastfeeding, remember not to take contraceptives. If you have sex, it is recommended that the man wear a condom.
