What should I do if I have irregular menstruation after cesarean section?

Irregular menstruation after cesarean section is caused by breastfeeding factors, poor wound recovery, endocrine disorders, etc. Generally speaking, it can be improved by improving lifestyle and taking oral medications.

1. Breastfeeding factors:

After a cesarean section, women may be in the lactation period, and the body will secrete a large amount of prolactin to inhibit the secretion of estrogen, affecting the growth rate of the endometrium and causing delayed menstruation. This phenomenon generally does not require special treatment and can return to normal after lactation. Usually, you should pay more attention to rest and avoid overwork.

2. Poor wound recovery:

Considering that the uterine scar incision heals poorly, the uterus may bleed, affecting normal ovulation and causing menstrual abnormalities. Usually, you should keep the wound clean and dry, and eat more protein-rich foods, such as chicken, beef, fish, etc., which can effectively provide nutrition to the body and promote wound recovery.

3. Endocrine disorders:

Abnormal hormone secretion after cesarean section, long-term mental stress or lack of sleep will aggravate endocrine disorders, affect the ovulation cycle, and induce delayed menstruation. Patients can take progesterone soft capsules, Danzhi Xiaoyao Pills, Wuji Baifeng Pills and other drugs under the guidance of doctors.

In addition to the common causes mentioned above, it may also be caused by insufficient qi and blood. Targeted treatment can be carried out after the cause is identified.
