Minor bleeding during breastfeeding

Many female friends relax their vigilance after giving birth and are not so concerned about their physical health. In fact, they still need to pay close attention to breastfeeding and pay attention to breast milk safety. They must protect themselves while ensuring the health of their children. Some breastfeeding women may experience a small amount of bleeding, so here are some reasons for a small amount of bleeding during breastfeeding.

step

First of all: After giving birth, if you are breastfeeding, you may not have your period or have irregular menstruation during the feeding period. You have some vaginal bleeding now, which may be irregular menstruation. If there is no problem in the examination, you don't need to worry about it. Once the breastfeeding period is over, the menstruation will become normal and regular. It's no problem.

Secondly: If there is a small amount of vaginal bleeding between two menstrual cycles, it is considered to be ovulation bleeding, which is normal. If the symptoms are mild, no treatment is required. If the bleeding is heavy or affects fertility, medication can be used for treatment. In addition, non-menstrual vaginal bleeding may occur due to luteal insufficiency, ovarian dysfunction, endometritis, acute vaginitis, severe cervical erosion, and submucous uterine fibroids.

Finally: Regardless of whether you are breastfeeding or not, the menstrual cycles in the first few times after delivery are usually not very regular. The intervals between periods and the amount of menstruation may be different from before pregnancy, but they will become stable after a few times. If a mother's menstrual cycle is irregular for a long time after childbirth, she must consult a gynecologist to avoid ignoring other physiological problems.

Precautions

In fact, a small amount of bleeding during breastfeeding is a normal phenomenon. Mothers don’t need to panic, just treat it correctly.

Vaginal bleeding during lactation should be considered as poor uterine recovery. If it was a caesarean section, the caesarean section wound should be checked; if it was a natural birth, an ultrasound should be done to rule out problems such as placental residue and decidua residue. Vaginal bleeding after the lactation period may be caused by endocrine factors, such as menstruation not fully resuming ovulation. Relevant examinations are needed to rule out problems with the cervix and vagina.
