Will weaning affect menstruation and cause delay?

When women are breastfeeding, the timing of their menstruation will be different due to different physical conditions. However, when the mother is weaning, she feels very painful. Often at this time, her menstruation will be delayed, which makes her more anxious and irritable. At this time, the mother needs to take care of her body in time. So, is it normal for weaning to affect the delay of menstruation?

1. Situation 1

The resumption of menstruation after childbirth is related to breastfeeding. Generally speaking, if you do not breastfeed after giving birth, menstruation will resume in 1-2 months. If it is later, menstruation will resume in 3 months after giving birth. The resumption of menstruation in breastfeeding women is generally delayed for a longer period of time, and they may not have menstruation during the entire breastfeeding period. However, menstruation will generally resume within three months after stopping breastfeeding. If you do not have menstruation after this period, you should go to the hospital to find out the reason.

2. Case 2

From a medical point of view, based on the tissue morphology of the endometrium, the ovaries can ovulate as early as 33-42 days after delivery. In addition, the presence of a corpus luteum after ovulation can also be observed 6 weeks after delivery. How long does it take to get menstruation after weaning? Under normal circumstances, the mother will have menstruation during the breastfeeding period. If the baby is weaned 3 months after delivery, of course, some mothers will have a slow recovery of menstruation and may not have menstruation during the entire breastfeeding period, and normal menstruation will resume 3 months after stopping breastfeeding.

3. Case 3

Research data show that 40% of mothers who did not breastfeed resumed ovulation and menstruation 6 weeks after delivery; by 8-12 weeks after delivery, the proportion of mothers who had not resumed ovulation and menstruation was about 35%. If there is a breastfeeding mother, the proportion of ovulation and menstruation resuming in 12 weeks after delivery is 25%. It takes most breastfeeding mothers 18 weeks to fully restore ovulation function. However, it is sometimes difficult to clinically determine the exact time of the first menstrual period after delivery, and a small number of mothers will begin to have intermittent bleeding of small to moderate amounts immediately after delivery.
