no medication is needed for that
you just need to maintain good nutrition along with adequate water intake and use proper contraceptive method to avoid unwanted pregnancy
POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. The return of menstrual periods after a C-section can vary widely among women. Generally, the timing depends on whether you are breastfeeding or not:
1. **Breastfeeding Moms**: If you are exclusively breastfeeding, your periods may not return for several months, sometimes not until you reduce breastfeeding frequency or stop altogether. This is due to the hormone prolactin, which supports milk production and can suppress ovulation.
2. **Formula-Feeding Moms**: If you are formula-feeding or supplementing with formula, your periods might return sooner, typically within 6-8 weeks after delivery.
It's important to note that even if you don't have regular periods while breastfeeding, ovulation can still occur, meaning you can become pregnant. If you're concerned about contraception, discuss options with your healthcare provider.
If your periods haven't returned within a few months after reducing or stopping breastfeeding, or if you have other concerns, it's a good idea to consult your doctor.
