What should I do if my period is delayed during breastfeeding?

Delayed menstruation during lactation may be caused by pregnancy, endocrine disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome, etc., which can be treated with medication.

1. Pregnancy:

Sometimes ovulation is normal during breastfeeding. If you do not take contraceptive measures during ovulation, you may get pregnant again. After pregnancy, the endometrium cannot be shed normally, which will cause delayed menstruation. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and does not require special treatment.

2. Endocrine disorders:

Because the fetus will absorb more nutrients from the mother during breastfeeding, an unbalanced diet and lack of sleep during night feeding may induce endocrine disorders, which in turn may induce menstrual disorders. A balanced diet is usually required, and adequate sleep must be ensured. If necessary, you can follow the doctor's advice to take Xiaoyao Pills, Heiji Baifeng Pills, and Yimucao Granules to regulate endocrine drugs.

3. Polycystic ovary syndrome:

The formation of this disease may be caused by the interaction of environmental factors and genetic factors. After the disease occurs, the hormone levels in the body will change, which may affect the development of follicles and cause delayed menstrual cycles. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can take progesterone soft capsules, medroxyprogesterone acetate tablets, dydrogesterone tablets and other drugs to improve the condition.

In addition to the above reasons, it may also be related to uterine polyps. If it affects normal life, polypectomy under hysteroscopy can help the body recover.
