Will menstruation occur during breastfeeding?

Lactation is the period after giving birth when a woman feeds her baby with her own milk. During this period, many women experience various physiological problems, including whether they will have their periods. Will menstruation occur during breastfeeding? This is a common question, but one without a definite answer. Under normal circumstances, breastfeeding women will resume their periods within a few months after giving birth. However, some women do not menstruate while breastfeeding, or they only menstruate at certain times. Changes in hormone levels in a breastfeeding woman may cause irregular or temporary cessation of menstruation. During breastfeeding, the body produces a hormone called prolactin, which suppresses ovarian ovulation and the onset of menstruation. As a result, many women experience irregular or temporary cessation of menstruation while breastfeeding. However, this does not mean that breastfeeding women will not menstruate. During breastfeeding, the ovaries will still release eggs. If the eggs released are not fertilized, menstruation will occur as scheduled. Therefore, it is still possible for a breastfeeding woman to have her period, but it may be irregular or stop temporarily. It should be noted that the menstrual status of lactating women does not affect the quality of their milk. Milk is produced by the breasts, not the ovaries, so whether menstruation occurs or not does not affect the quantity and quality of milk. If you experience irregular or temporary menstruation while breastfeeding, don’t worry. This is a very common problem and generally has no impact on your health. However, if you have severe or irregular bleeding, it is recommended to consult your doctor to rule out other potential problems. In summary, a breastfeeding woman may menstruate, but may not menstruate or only menstruate sporadically. This is a very common problem and generally has no impact on your health. If you have any discomfort or concerns, please always consult your doctor.
