Why is my menstrual flow decreasing after giving birth?

Sometimes we use the amount of menstrual flow and whether it is normal to judge whether a woman’s body is normal or whether there is any problem. However, there is such a situation in life that after giving birth to a child, you will find that the menstrual flow is less. So what happens if the menstrual flow becomes less after giving birth? What should you do in this situation? I have done some research in this area and have some understandings that I would like to share with you here.

Temporary menstrual irregularities after childbirth should be considered as the influence of physiological phenomena, because the uterus needs to recover after childbirth, generally within 3 menstrual cycles. If menstrual irregularities persist, it may be caused by blood stasis, that is, endocrine disorders. For endocrine disorders, you can take progesterone and motherwort granules to regulate menstruation. You can also do a B-ultrasound combined with six sex hormone screening. Identify the cause and then treat it symptomatically.

In addition, everyone knows that the amount of menstrual flow is related to the thickness of the endometrium. For women who have had an abortion or given birth, the endometrium will be damaged to a certain extent, so the amount of menstrual flow will be less than when they were not pregnant. Therefore, don’t be too stressed at the beginning. If you are worried, go to the hospital for a five-item endocrine test to find out the specific reason for the decrease in menstrual volume. Also, don't rush into sex or take birth control pills after giving birth, as this will cause menstrual disorders.

In short, there are many reasons for scanty menstrual flow. Start with adjusting your diet. If that doesn’t work, it’s better to go to the hospital as soon as possible to get a relevant examination. Therefore, you should pay more attention to your physical condition so that you can make early judgments and receive treatment.

The above contents are some answers to the question of why the menstrual flow becomes less after giving birth. I hope this knowledge can bring certain benefits to all of us. After understanding these situations, everyone must pay more attention to this aspect. If you encounter a small amount of menstrual flow, it is best to observe more and then go to the hospital for examination in time. It is best to rule out the disease. If it cannot be ruled out, seek treatment early.
