What to do if you have heavy periods after giving birth

After giving birth to a child, heavy menstrual flow requires timely change of sanitary napkins, and medical attention is recommended if the predicted amount of menstrual flow is more than 80 milliliters at a time.
It may be normal to have more menstrual flow after giving birth than before, but the amount of menstrual flow usually does not exceed 80 milliliters at one time. It is necessary to change sanitary napkins regularly, keep the vulva clean and hygienic, ensure sufficient sleep and avoid overwork.
If the amount of menstrual flow is predicted to be more than 80 ml, or if it is impossible to predict the amount of menstrual flow but the body feels tired, pale and sweaty, etc., you should seek medical advice from your doctor to determine the cause of the heavy menstrual flow and give treatment accordingly. Diseases such as endometrial polyps and uterine fibroids can cause heavy menstrual flow, and appropriate treatment can be chosen according to the specific situation.
