What Do Absence Of Periods And White Vaginal Discharge Post Child Birth Suggest?
Question: Hi,
I had a c-section on 26th March 2015. Since then my periods are not coming till now. Starting last Sunday I had a little of white discharge with no other sign of infection (like burning or iching). And from last night I am feeling very drowsy and periods like pain in abdominal. Can you please suggest what it could be and anything I can do at home.
Thanks,
XXXXX

Brief Answer:
Likely impending periods
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Absence of periods after childbirth are likely due to lactational amenorrhea. If you are practicing effective contraception, then the symptoms of white discharge and abdominal pain are indicative of impending periods. Menstruation normally resumes after6 months of childbirth, when the baby starts taking top feed.
I will suggest you to take any pain killer, if the pain is very severe.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.

Thanks for answering my question very quickly. I am not using any contraception right now. Then also is this a sign of impending period?

Brief Answer:
Please do get a urine pregnancy test
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, if you are not using any contraceptive, then I would suggest you to get a urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. If it is negative, then definitely its a sign of impending periods.
