Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have delivered a baby boy through cesarean. After delivery my bleeding continues for three months. Then, it stopped completely and till now I have not got my menses. Now, my baby is 9.5 months old. Is it normal or need any medication? I am currently on Eltroxin 100 mg for thyroid.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Are you breastfeeding your child? If yes, then breastfeeding could be the reason for delayed menstruation Also, you need to understand that you could still be pregnant without getting your periods. Kindly rule out pregnancy first and start a contraceptive measure after consultation with your doctor if you are not planning for another baby in the near future.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
