Studies done in Santiago, Chile show that menses return before the sixth month of puerperium in 50% of lactating women, even in those that continue with exclusive breast feeding.
To study the length of lactational amenorrhea in a group of women living in Southern Chile.
One hundred fourteen women giving exclusive breast feeding, were followed from the third postpartum month, to determine the length of lactational amenorrhea. Its relationship with general characteristics of the mothers and children and breast feeding pattern was also studied.
Sixty six women (58%) recovered their menses before the 6th postpartum month and their length of lactational amenorrhea was 101 +/- 5 days. In the rest of the sample, the length was 277 +/- 10 days. No differences in characteristics of the mothers and children or breast feeding pattern, were observed between these two groups.
A short lactational amenorrhea is common in the Chilean population. Clinical characteristics or pattern of breast feeding do not explain the length of LA in this population.
在智利圣地亚哥进行的研究表明，50%的哺乳期妇女在产褥期第六个月前恢复月经，即使是那些持续纯母乳喂养的妇女。
研究智利南部一组妇女的哺乳期闭经时长。
对114名纯母乳喂养的妇女从产后第三个月开始进行跟踪，以确定哺乳期闭经的时长。还研究了其与母亲和孩子的一般特征以及母乳喂养模式的关系。
66名妇女（58%）在产后第六个月前恢复月经，其哺乳期闭经时长为101±5天。在其余样本中，时长为277±10天。两组在母亲和孩子的特征或母乳喂养模式方面未观察到差异。
哺乳期闭经时间短在智利人群中很常见。临床特征或母乳喂养模式无法解释该人群中哺乳期闭经的时长。
