What should I do if my menstrual flow is heavy after childbirth?

Heavy menstrual flow after childbirth may be caused by endocrine disorders, poor uterine involution, uterine cavity infection and other reasons, which can be treated with medication.

1. Endocrine disorders:

Postpartum women's hormone levels will be disordered, which can easily affect women's menstruation, irregular menstruation, increased or decreased menstrual volume, prolonged or shortened menstrual cycle, etc. At this time, under the guidance of a doctor, you can take drugs such as dydrogesterone tablets, progesterone capsules, and medroxyprogesterone acetate tablets.

2. Poor uterine involution:

If women do not take in enough nutrition after childbirth, or do not take good local care, or the incision heals poorly, it may affect the normal contraction of the uterus, which may cause poor uterine involution, and cause insufficient menstruation, accompanied by increased menstrual flow and abdominal pain. It is recommended to take drugs such as Xinshenghua Granules, Yimucao Granules, and Wujia Biochemical Capsules under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Uterine infection:

If you have sex too early after childbirth or use unclean sanitary pads, bacteria may infect the uterine cavity, which can easily cause abdominal pain, accompanied by increased menstrual flow and symptoms of menstrual interruption. It is recommended to take drugs such as cefuroxime axetil tablets, amoxicillin capsules, and azithromycin capsules under the guidance of a doctor.

In addition to the common causes mentioned above, uterine fibroids may also be the cause, which can be treated by myomectomy. Private care should be provided during treatment to facilitate recovery from the disease.
