Menstruation during breastfeeding is very slow

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon that every woman experiences. It often visits women on fixed days of each month, so it is affectionately called "Aunt Flo" by many people. Menstruation is generally accompanied by various symptoms. However, for pregnant women, menstruation may be different, both in terms of amount and timing, but generally menstruation has resumed after the breastfeeding period. So why do some women only have a little menstrual period after breastfeeding? Let’s learn more about it.

There are a few reasons for menstruation during breastfeeding:

Don't worry too much. After delivery, the baby's sucking action on the nipple can reflexively inhibit the mother's hypothalamus, thereby inhibiting ovarian ovulation. However, if the baby sucks the nipple less, the amount of milk secretion decreases, the milk concentration decreases, or breastfeeding stops, or the mother is affected by the environment, climate, emotional changes and sexual life, the inhibitory effect of prolactin on gonadotropin will weaken, and the ovaries will begin to resume function from the dormant state during breastfeeding, discharge mature eggs, and gradually resume the menstrual cycle.

During breastfeeding, the influence of prolactin will affect normal menstruation, so it is normal for menstruation to come a little bit and then stop. However, you should pay attention to contraceptive measures during breastfeeding, even if you do not have your period. And because you are breastfeeding, do not use contraceptive pills, but use condoms.

Guidance:

1. It is recommended to use a pregnancy test stick to rule out pregnancy, relax, get enough rest, eat a healthy diet, observe and follow up if you feel unwell.

2. If you have sex without any precautions, the possibility of pregnancy cannot be ruled out. You can do a urine pregnancy test more than 15 days after sex. If negative, then pregnancy can be ruled out.

3. During the breastfeeding period, you may have irregular menstruation, which is also quite common. You can observe it again. Pay attention to drinking some brown sugar water during your menstrual period, and then apply hot compress. If it doesn't work, you can try eating some motherwort.

4. Menstrual irregularities may occur during lactation, so the current situation is normal. It is recommended to use an early pregnancy test to exclude the possibility of pregnancy. Sometimes a small amount of vaginal bleeding may occur after pregnancy, which may be mistaken for menstruation.

5. It is best for you to use a pregnancy test stick to check whether you are pregnant, because this is also a sign of miscarriage. If the current test shows no pregnancy, this situation can be observed. You can also take Yunnan Baiyao capsules orally to stop bleeding.

6. This situation is quite common when menstruating irregularly during breastfeeding. You should not get pregnant. You can observe for a few days to see if you feel any abdominal pain or discomfort. If necessary, check with B-ultrasound to see the specific situation first!

7. It is normal for most women not to have their periods during breastfeeding, but it is possible to get pregnant even if they have no periods or have occasional periods, because ovulation occurs every month. In your case, you should go to the gynecologist for a checkup.
