Sudden amenorrhea during lactation

Although women will not have menstruation during pregnancy, menstruation will gradually appear within 3 to 6 months after giving birth. Generally, women are in the breastfeeding period after giving birth. During this period, women's physical nutrition is closely related to the healthy growth and development of the baby. But some women find that their uterus suddenly stops when they are breastfeeding. What is going on?

This situation is related to the fact that the endocrine system has not yet fully recovered. It is a common phenomenon in breastfeeding women. After stopping breastfeeding, normal regularity can generally be restored.

The symptoms of endocrine disorders mainly involve observing whether the leucorrhea is abnormal, because the amount and texture of the discharge are affected by the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body. If the leucorrhea increases or decreases for no apparent reason, or is accompanied by changes in color, texture, or odor, you should be alert.

Regulation of endocrine disorders

If mothers want to avoid the effects caused by changes in endocrine hormones, they should first pay attention to rest, avoid overwork, develop good living habits, avoid excessive excitement, eat a reasonable diet, and keep a happy mood. If endocrine disorders have already occurred and are severe, it is recommended to use Chinese medicine for appropriate conditioning.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that maternal endocrine disorders are a manifestation of yin deficiency, which is caused by stagnation of qi and blood. When the stagnant blood in the mother's body blocks the smooth flow of blood vessels, external toxins invade or postpartum lochia remains, it will cause blood stasis. New mothers should pay more attention to yin-nourishing treatment, starting with regulating the endocrine system, so that the qi and blood can flow smoothly, the essence and blood can nourish the whole body, promote blood circulation, and comprehensively regulate from the inside out. For example, eat more fresh fruits, drink some Tremella and lotus seed soup, and eat more high-protein and vitamin foods such as grains.
