No menstruation for one year after second childbirth

During the postpartum lactation period, pregnant women will experience amenorrhea during lactation due to the increase of prolactin, which inhibits the secretion of other hormones in the body. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. If it is not accompanied by other discomforts, there is no need to worry. This is also one of the benefits of breastfeeding. However, ovulation may sometimes occur during this physiological menopause period. Therefore, during this period, if there is no intention to get pregnant again, you should pay attention to contraceptive measures to prevent damage to the body. You should ensure your own health, eat a light and regular diet, and eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, high-protein foods and other nutritious foods.

It is not easy for women to have their first menstruation after a normal birth to be very regular. Some women may have their first menstruation 2-3 months after giving birth, or even more than half a year. Although a small number of women may not have their periods for more than a year, this is also a normal phenomenon. Some women only get their periods after they stop exclusive breastfeeding. But not having menstruation after giving birth does not mean that you will not ovulate, so you must take contraceptive measures to prevent unmarried pregnancy. Some women will have their first menstruation about 42 days after giving birth. These are all normal conditions and generally heal themselves without excessive treatment.

This kind of situation is possible if you don't have your period for a year after giving birth to your second child. Especially for exclusive breastfeeding, the body's lactogen level will be relatively high, which will affect the body's secretion of estrogen and estrogens, leading to menstrual disorders. If the impact is minor, there will be menstrual disorders and decreased menstrual volume; if the impact is severe, there will be long-term amenorrhea. Generally speaking, it is normal for women who are breastfeeding exclusively to not have menstruation for nine months. A very small number of women may not have menstruation for a year. So there is no need to be overly anxious.

If you do not have your period for one year after giving birth to your second child, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a fasting blood test to check six items of sex hormones, three items of estrogen and one item of thyroid hormone. The six items of hormones include follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, progesterone, estradiol, progesterone and testosterone to rule out hormone problems. Hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism may cause menstrual disorders. In addition, if you do not have your period under normal circumstances during breastfeeding, you will have your period after weaning, but you will still ovulate, so you must also take good contraceptive measures. If the above factors are eliminated, you can use Chinese medicine for conditioning.
