Is menstruation normal during the three-month lactation period

However, some women may experience menstrual flow three months after giving birth. So, is menstruation normal during the three-month lactation period?

  

Is menstruation normal during the three-month lactation period1

  1. It is normal for women to have menstrual periods when they enter the lactation period three months after giving birth. Due to the different individual constitutions of each lactating woman, the timing of menstrual cycle may vary significantly. For example, some postpartum women may not have menstruation throughout their entire breastfeeding period, which is also a normal manifestation.

  2. After giving birth to a baby and entering the breastfeeding period, women will secrete more prolactin in their bodies, which can inhibit the ovulation function of the ovaries and reduce the ovulation cycle. Therefore, women who are breastfeeding are prone to menstrual disorders. This is also an important reason why women start menstruating earlier after childbirth or do not menstruate throughout the entire breastfeeding period.

  3. Women should not worry too much about the timing of their menstrual cycle during lactation, whether it is earlier or later, and should not have too much psychological pressure, as this is a normal situation. Pregnant women should take good care of their private parts to reduce bacterial growth. Especially after menarche, it is important to take effective contraceptive measures to avoid unintended pregnancy during lactation.
