Many women are extremely concerned about such a phenomenon as a cycle failure after childbirth. This is a natural reaction, since the absence or irregularity of menstruation signals the malfunctioning of the reproductive and cleansing system of the body. Let's try to figure out together when the cycle is restored after childbirth.
In order for the body to fully "recover" after delivery, at least 2 months must pass. But the hormonal background, which directly determines the periodicity of the appearance of menstruation, will be adjusted according to the period and intensity of breastfeeding.
How much is the cycle restored after delivery?
Consider several factors, on the basis of which the time of appearance and establishment of menstruation will depend:
- the presence of breastfeeding at the request of the baby allows full recovery of the cycle only to its cessation, after about a year and a half;
- the presence of active introduction of complementary foods and, as a result, a reduction in the amount of milk produced, can cause menstruation even during breastfeeding;
- mixed nutrition that takes place from the very birth of the child, leads to the return of the monthly maximum in three months;
- the ability to fertilize occurs on the 12th week of delivery if the mother does not practice breastfeeding.
It must be understood that the violation of the menstrual cycle after childbirth in no way depends on how the child was born. Allocations of blood that a young mother sometimes notices are lochia after childbirth .
As a rule, the cycle of menstruation after the birth is restored literally several times for their offensive, and symbolize the woman's readiness for fertilization. It is necessary to take care of appropriate methods of contraception, in order to avoid unwanted pregnancies.
When the cycle is set after delivery, a woman can note their abundance or scarcity in comparison with the discharge before pregnancy, painless and short-term course.
