How to regulate scanty menstruation after childbirth?

Small amounts of menstrual flow after childbirth are related to factors such as high prolactin levels, endocrine disorders, and anemia. The conditioning method should be selected according to the specific causes and symptoms.

1. High prolactin level: After delivery, you need to breastfeed your baby. When sucking the nipple, it is easy to stimulate prolactin, causing irregular menstruation and scanty menstruation. This is a normal physiological phenomenon, which can usually be restored after stopping breastfeeding, and no special treatment is required.

2. Endocrine disorders: If women do not get enough sleep or have high mental stress after childbirth, it will cause endocrine disorders, affect the shedding of the endometrium, and cause less menstrual flow. You should maintain a good mood after childbirth, and take progesterone soft capsules, estradiol valerate tablets and other drugs as prescribed by the doctor when necessary, which can promote the thickening of the endometrium and help restore menstrual flow.

3. Anemia: Due to the weak body after childbirth, coupled with insufficient iron intake, anemia occurs in the body, affecting the menstrual cycle and menstrual volume. It is recommended to eat more foods with high iron content. In severe cases, you can take ferrous sulfate sustained-release tablets, ferrous succinate tablets and other drugs, which help to replenish blood and improve symptoms such as scanty menstruation.

Intrauterine adhesions can also lead to scanty menstruation after delivery. Regular follow-up checkups are required after delivery to observe the body's recovery and seek medical treatment promptly if any abnormalities are found.
