Menstruation after childbirth

After 9 months of pregnancy and a few weeks postpartum, it's easy to forget the return of menstruation and all its inconveniences. And yet.., the menstrual cycle returns naturally and graduallyThis time of rest allows the uterus to return to its original size. Breastfeeding generally delays recurrence by a few weeks, but it is rare for recurrence to occur more than 5 months after delivery.

The first few days after childbirth, discharge is abundant and requires appropriate protection. Called lochiesIts bleeding is a mixture of uterine mucosal debris and blood. They diminish during the first two weeks, then gradually disappear.

Menstruation can return after 8 to 10 weeks post-partum. For some women, the return of menstruation is natural and painless, while for others the discharge is more abundant and accompanied by very painful cramps.
