Menstruation each month visit, have always been women\'s life very inconvenient physiological phenomena. There must be new mother secretly hope that menstruation not come back, since child health.
However, the always coming. Let us work together to look at postpartum menstruation recovery situation, make the necessary psychological preparation.
Return of menstruation when
Postpartum menstruation recovery
Women in the post-natal period of recovery is a natural physiological phenomenon. How long postpartum menstruation will come? This is a common problem. Recovery time as early as late as early as may after the full moon during late will not recover until baby after the age of 1.
From a medical perspective, based on endometrial histomorphology to speculate, possibly as early as the period of 33-42 days, ovarian can ovulation. In addition, in a period of 6 weeks, there can also be observed that the corpus luteum after ovulation. Therefore, if the mother is not breastfeeding, menstruation is usually in 6-8 weeks postpartum to. Research data show that no breastfeeding mothers, restore ovulation has 4O% in a period of 6 weeks; to postpartum 8-12 week, there is no restore ovulation and menstrual women accounted for only about 35%. Lactating women, in a period of 12 weeks about 25% will restore ovulation and menstruation, most breastfeeding women ovulatory function will not fully recover until 18 weeks usually. However, sometimes difficult to determine in clinical postpartum menstruation the exact time for the first time, and a few women will start immediately after childbirth have less to intermittent bleeding.
Lactating Mommy menstrual
New mothers in breastfeeding infants, ovulation and menstrual recovery late, some years before menstruation. Most people first menstrual periods than usual volume, menstruation is normal for the second time, do not have to be treated.
When the menstrual cycle when an instance of, milk of lactating Mommy will usually have decreased, containing protein and fat in the milk quality also changes slightly, high levels of protein and low fat content. This can sometimes cause dyspepsia symptoms in infants breast milk, but this is a temporary phenomenon, and after the menstrual period, it will return to normal. So after either in menstruation or menstruation, Mum does not have to stop breastfeeding.
\"Tips\"
Postpartum Lochia, not menstruation
Typically \' mothers after delivery, the birth canal of outflows like the menstrual blood of secretions, this location of placenta implantation bleeding, mixed up with residues in the uterine decidua, organization of debris and mucus secretion, called a hang-over.
Under normal circumstances, at first, the 4-5 day, hang-over volume and red; one week after the postpartum, hang-over amount gradually diminished and become brown; after the 10th day, the color becomes more light slowly from yellow to white, no special smell. 4-6 week in postpartum Lochia generally disappeared. But sometimes a small amount of brown to postpartum Lochia will last 1th instance of discharging the menses.
Hang-over no more than menstruation. If the bleeding lasts two weeks, more than menstruation or have blood clots, vaginal effluent is rotten meat-like organization, or when there is a smell of corruption, should seek medical advice promptly.
Common postpartum menstruation exception
Common anomalies of postpartum menstruation, uninterrupted vaginal bleeding and amenorrhea in two cases:
The first case:
Because postpartum of first times menstrual usually is no ovulation of cycle, or due to function bad of yellow body induced and produced of, and at this time ovarian for gonad hormone of thrust stress still does not too sensitive, so, such as postpartum hang-over has been ticktock flow kept, and occasionally will has does not regularly of repeatedly small bleeding, or also in confinement during is has similar menstrual instance of bleeding, various exception phenomenon is common.
If you determine that previously did not take food or drug inhibits uterine contractions, and postnatal checks prior to hospital discharge did not find cause of postpartum bleeding problems, in post-natal consultation back when asking doctors. If during and after the confinement, or bleeding, often, it was suggested to seek medical advice immediately, accept the diagnosis and treatment of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
The second situation:
Postpartum amenorrhoea is mainly seen in long-term breastfeeding and postpartum haemorrhage, infection of Han\'s syndrome; also, prolactin hormones in the body formation without too high also inhibits ovulation and menstruation.
Prior to delivery, maternal lactation hormone concentration in high, but because of the influence of estrogen, prolactin hormone cannot demonstrate its role. The placenta
After delivery, lactation hormone due to collapse in concentration of estrogen in the body and the role of strengthening. In General, lactation hormone production will return to pre-pregnancy status in two weeks. But in breastfeeding women the body, not only maintained at higher than before pregnancy lactation hormone status, but also increased because of the reaction by baby sucking. Breastfeeding amenorrhea low estrogen can even last for 180 days old. So as long as breastfeeding, menstruation should not come too early for the new mother. Of course, the differences between the different persons is also very strong. In addition, some maternal breastfeeding time too long, resulting in endometrial atrophy amenorrhea.Another primary amenorrhea, postpartum hemorrhage with shock, severe postpartum infection, or disseminated intravascular coagulation in maternal body. These symptoms can lead to amenorrhea, the so-called Han\'s syndrome, this disorder also involving secretion of thyroid function, such as weight loss, dyspepsia, aversion to cold, fatigue, low genital atrophy, basal metabolic and hair loss symptoms, required medical attention.
No menstruation, contraception
In puerperium new mother even in the absence of menstruation, pregnancy. Because whether pregnant woman depends on anovulatory. Recovery synchronization recovery is not necessarily of ovulation and menstruation, especially in the period just recovered several cycles, often of anovulatory menstrual cycle, but there are many people in recovery is started before ovulation menstruation, especially not women breastfeeding, ovulation is often recovered earlier. Therefore, maternal lactation sex any time you may have restore ovulation and pregnancy. According to statistics, in pregnancy in women during lactation, and half was conceived prior to menstruation. Therefore, the postpartum sexual life as soon as you begin, you should take contraceptive measures.
After the full moon, maternal recovery of ovulation may, therefore, postpartum contraception should be used since sex for the first time. Appropriate methods of contraception during lactation can progesterone for contraception are condoms and simple. Simple is the use of progesterone for contraception menstrual injection needle for the instance of the 5th day, once in every 3 months later. Because the estrogen in birth control pills may decrease the milk-secretion, lower quality, also have adverse effects can enter breast milk to newborn, so new mothers should not use the influence of oral contraceptives during lactation.
