MENSTRUAL IRREGULARITIES AND MENSTRUATION AFTER CHILDBIRTH

Bleeding, which starts immediately after normal birth or cesarean delivery, decreases and lasts for 30-40 days. This is not a menstrual bleeding, it is a necessary bleeding to remove blood from the uterus and remnants from birth.
Actual menstrual bleeding usually starts after 6 months after birth, in those who regularly breastfeed their baby, but in very regular and frequent breastfeeding, this period may even reach 1 year after birth. Rarely, there may be mothers who have menstruation more than 6 months before they are breastfeeding very regularly. Even if menstruation begins, it can be irregular as long as breastfeeding continues and usually regulates when the breastfeeding period is over.
In mothers who never breastfeed or infrequently breastfeed their baby after birth, menstrual bleeding usually starts 3 months after birth. When breastfeeding is completely finished, menstrual bleeding occurs regularly every month.
Is menstrual irregularity or delay after delivery normal?
If breastfeeding continues after normal delivery and cesarean, menstruation is often irregular and delays may occur. It's normal. It will improve when breastfeeding is completely finished. There are also mothers who have regular menstruation although they rarely breastfeed. However, it should be noted here that it should not be linked to breastfeeding every menstrual delay or irregularity. As in every period of the woman's life, the delay in menstruation after childbirth should bring to mind the possibility of getting pregnant. Not starting menstruation or breastfeeding after birth does not prevent getting pregnant one hundred percent. Therefore, it is necessary to apply protection methods. In summary, menstrual irregularities and menstrual delay occur very frequently in the first year of mothers who have given birth, and are usually due to breastfeeding. However, connecting it to breastfeeding without a doctor's control and examination may cause not to notice any other problem that may arise.
After birth, not being menstrual causes weight gain?

Intermittent bleeding and spotting between menstruations after childbirth:
It is necessary not to tie it to breastfeeding or any other normal cause and consult a doctor. Sometimes, formations such as polyp in the uterus or other causes can be detected. If no reason is detected, the patient is followed up with regulatory drugs or for self-spotting.
What should mothers whose menstrual cycle change after birth?
When the breastfeeding period is over, the menstrual cycle usually becomes older before pregnancy, but some women may progress in a different order than before. Menstruation may be less frequent, more frequent, or different in bleeding. This is not related to pregnancy and childbirth. Sometimes a disease such as goiter or high prolactin, detected during pregnancy or postpartum, can cause this. Sometimes a drug used can cause this. If a reason is not found in the doctor's examination, the change of the menstrual cycle is not a problem.
Are menstrual medications used after birth?
When mother is breastfeeding, medication is not used unless it is compulsory, since every medication used can pass into breast milk. However, in mandatory cases, some of the menstrual-regulatory drugs can be used. No regulatory hormone pills or menstrual medication should be used without the doctor's advice. For example, if the cause of menstrual irregularity is such as prolactin hormone height or thyroid hormone disorder, medications can be used. In cases where no other reason can be identified, there will usually be a spontaneous improvement as the months progress and breastfeeding decreases without the need for medication.
