Question
Hello doctor,
I gave birth to my 3rd baby by cesarean section, 6 months old. However, I still haven't had my period back. How long after the cesarean delivery will my period return? I'm a bit worried, please consult a doctor.

Hello,
With the question “How long after cesarean delivery will my period return? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
If you exclusively breastfeed your baby, you will usually have a later period, about 7-8 months after giving birth. The fact is that it is difficult to determine exactly when the menstrual period will reappear for women after giving birth and breastfeeding, it is likely that from 8 to 10 months after giving birth, menstruation will reappear. This is completely normal. However, you should also have a check-up because you may not have had your period yet but you may have become pregnant again.
If you still have questions about cesarean section, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
