Hello doctor. Doctor let me ask, I gave birth two months ago, suddenly there is a little blood, only two days is gone. Are you worried if it's your period or what's wrong with you? Because I read it online, if I exclusively breastfeed my baby, I won't get my period early again. Looking forward to consulting your doctor. Thank you very much doctor.

Hello. Early or late menstruation depends on many factors such as breastfeeding, hormone levels and lifestyle... The amount of menstrual blood is often related to the thin thickness of the uterine wall in the mother's body. If the uterus is thin, the menstrual bleeding is less, and if the uterus is thick, it is more.
The reason for low menstrual bleeding is that when you breastfeed your baby after giving birth, there are hormonal changes in the mother's body, including the secretion of prolactin when breastfeeding, causing the hypothalamus to work. , pituitary gland and ovaries are changed. So even after your first few periods have appeared, it may still be light or irregular.
For your case, if the postpartum period has a relatively small amount of menstrual blood, it is still normal.
