If menstruation does not come, prompting menstruation requires detailed analysis of the specific situation. If menstruation is regular and irregular, it does not necessarily mean there is something wrong. If you are a woman of childbearing age, you can use a pregnancy test paper to detect pregnancy. One bar on the pregnancy test paper indicates that you are not pregnant, and two bars on the pregnancy test paper indicate that you are pregnant. If the early pregnancy test paper shows that you are not pregnant, you can go to the hospital for a color ultrasound to check the thickness of the endometrium. Only when the thickness of the endometrium reaches a certain thickness can it be effective to stimulate menstruation.

If the thickness of the endometrium reaches more than 1.0 cm, you can take some motherwort granules and Wuji Baifeng pills for conditioning. If the thickness of the endometrium is more than 5 mm, progesterone can be used for 10 days to promote the development of the endometrium. Menstruation will occur within 3-7 days of stopping the medication.
Lactation period is delayed for a long time

The menstrual phase includes the follicular phase and the luteal phase. The follicular phase refers to the process of development of small follicles to mature follicles. The luteal phase is the time from ovulation to the next menstruation. There are certain individual differences in the time when menstruation resumes during lactation, which is related to the number, frequency, degree, and personal constitution of breastfeeding. Menstruation resumes approximately 40 days to 8 weeks after delivery, and about 25% of women have resumed ovulation. For those who breastfeed regularly, menstruation will return later. Most women will have menstruation only after half a year.
And some people do not menstruate while breastfeeding, while others do. Absence of menstruation is mainly due to the secretion of prolactin during lactation. High prolactin can cause endocrine changes. Endocrine changes are not within the normal range, and menstruation is prone to occur. Prolactin is one of the six sex hormones. Abnormality in any one of the six sex hormones will lead to delayed menstruation. Therefore, the absence of menstruation during lactation is mainly due to high prolactin and secretion of milk.
Under normal circumstances, after weaning, the prolactin level drops and the hormone level returns to normal, and normal menstruation will occur. Therefore, not all people do not have menstruation during lactation. Some people have good prolactin drops, their hormone levels return to normal, and they still have menstruation, but their menstruation is irregular. Generally, a lot of milk is secreted when menstruation does not occur. If menstruation occurs, the amount of milk secretion will be relatively small. Therefore, the absence of menstruation during lactation is related to the secretion of prolactin.
