If the first period after delivery is more than 20 days long, it may be caused by poor uterine contraction, infection in the uterine cavity, or residual tissue in the uterine cavity, which may be treated by promoting uterine contraction, antibiotic medication, or purging.
1. Poor uterine contraction: If the uterus contracts poorly for the first time after delivery, the wound in the uterine cavity has not healed completely, and local bleeding may cause menstruation to last for more than 20 days. It may need to be treated with medication such as hysteronin injection.
2. Uterine cavity infection: If the mother has an infection in the uterine cavity when she has her first postpartum menstrual period, the local trauma of the lesion may bleed, and the first postpartum menstrual period of more than twenty days may not be able to finish. Treatment with antibiotic drugs such as cefixime granules, penicillin sodium injection, ceftriaxone sodium injection may be needed.
3. Uterine residue: During labor, if the placenta and fetal membranes remain in the uterine cavity, it may cause the first menstrual period to be more than twenty days of dribbling. You may want to consider having your uterus cleared.
There are many reasons why you may not be able to get your first period for more than twenty days after giving birth, so you can choose the appropriate treatment plan under the guidance of a professional doctor, and do not blindly use medication on your own.
