Postpartum Endocrine Changes

Postpartum Endocrine Changes is a physiological process denoting the dynamic alterations in hormonal concentrations and endocrine system function that occur in the mother following childbirth, distinguished by the withdrawal of placental hormones, the establishment of lactation via prolactin and oxytocin regulation, and the reorganization of hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis activity toward reproductive recovery.
