Why do I have my period twice a month during breastfeeding?

I have my period twice a month during breastfeeding. Is there any other reason besides breastfeeding? Lactation is a very special physiological period for women, during which they need to meet the physiological needs of their babies. At the same time, women’s bodies are actually affected to varying degrees, including changes in menstrual cycles and other aspects. So, what is the specific reason?

It is normal for women to have their periods once a month, but why do some women have their periods twice a month? That would be unusual. So what is the reason for having two periods in a month? How should female friends regulate their bodies when they have two periods in a month? Let's take a look here!

Women's menstruation is regulated by the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian gonadal axis. Mental factors, mood swings, environmental changes, pregnancy, age, illness, medication, and nutritional status can all cause dysfunction of the gonad axis and lead to menstrual abnormalities.

Menstrual disorders are mainly caused by endocrine dysfunction, but can also be caused by systemic diseases or local diseases of the reproductive organs. "Irregular menstruation" in traditional Chinese medicine is equivalent to a part of "menstrual disorders" in modern medicine, and does not include menstrual abnormalities caused by internal and external genital organ lesions. The disease is mainly caused by the seven emotions, the six external evils, or congenital kidney deficiency, frequent childbirth, excessive fatigue, which damages the internal organs, malfunctions of the kidneys, liver and spleen, and imbalance of qi and blood, resulting in damage to the Chong and Ren meridians and irregular menstruation. My period is currently delayed by a week, so I need to do a pregnancy test in time. Also, is there any medicine I can take during this period? You should have a check-up within this week. At the same time, you should eat hotter food and, if necessary, you can take treatment to induce menstruation.

During the lactation period, menstruation occurs twice a month, which is largely caused by breastfeeding. Therefore, if women do not have major changes in other aspects, they do not need to worry too much about their bodies or the quality of their milk. This situation may be due to poor health. Just eat more and drink more.
