Is it normal to delay menstruation for 20 days during breastfeeding?

It is normal to delay menstruation for three to five days. But if it lasts more than half a month or twenty days, it is a cause for worry, either the woman is pregnant or there is something wrong with her body. But during the breastfeeding period, as we all know, this period is different from other times. It is generally normal for menstruation to be delayed by twenty days during breastfeeding. As for whether or not she will get pregnant, it’s hard to say.

During breastfeeding, the anterior pituitary gland of the breastfeeding mother needs to secrete a large amount of prolactin to promote the mammary gland to secrete milk, which relatively inhibits the pituitary gland from secreting egg cell stimulating hormone, so that the kinetic energy of the egg cell is inhibited and the follicle cannot develop into a mature egg. Therefore, during the breastfeeding period, women generally have no ovulation function within six months to one year, and will not conceive.

However, your period has been delayed. It is recommended that you keep calm, because tension is an important reason for delayed menstruation. It is normal to have irregular menstruation during the breastfeeding period after giving birth. This is due to hormones. For some women, menstruation may become regular about a year after weaning.

It is normal to miss menstruation during breastfeeding. Sometimes it is because the uterus is still repairing, and sometimes it is because of physiological changes caused by breastfeeding that cause menstruation to miss. Don't worry, but you cannot rule out menstrual irregularities caused by disease.

Then you need to maintain an optimistic attitude, get adequate rest, and replenish nutrients to maintain normal body functions. I believe that in this way, you will be able to effectively maintain the stability of menstruation.
