Heavy menstruation after giving birth to a child may be caused by thickening of the uterine lining, poor uterine recovery or uterine fibroids.
1. Thickening of the uterine lining: If a woman breastfeeds after giving birth to a child and has her period during breastfeeding, the endometrial lining of the uterus will be thickened due to the stimulation of a single estrogen hormone, which will be manifested as heavy menstruation after giving birth to a child.
2. Poor uterine recuperation: If the uterus gradually recovers to the non-pregnant state after giving birth to a baby, and in the process of recovery, there are cases of retained placenta and fetal membranes, endometrial inflammation and so on, which will lead to poor uterine recuperation, and this may cause excessive menstrual flow.
3. Uterine fibroids: If there are fibroids in the uterus after giving birth to a child, which increase the size of the uterus and the area of the endometrium, it may also lead to heavy menstruation.
If you have heavy menstruation after giving birth to a child, it is recommended that you consult a doctor for examination and treatment under the guidance of the doctor after the cause of the problem is clarified.
