Patient's question:
I am 27 years old. The last time I had sex with my boyfriend, we didn't use protection, and now I am pregnant. However, I don't want this child and plan to have an abortion. Could you please tell me how long I can wait to breastfeed after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion procedure, you can start breastfeeding at any time. However, it is essential to pay attention to rest after the surgery. Just like giving birth, you need to take a postpartum rest for one month after an abortion. During this period, avoid overexertion and exposure to cold. Pay attention to digestible nutrition. For the next six months, you must take contraceptive measures to prevent pregnancy again.If you undergo medication abortion, you should wait until the entire medication abortion process is completed before starting breastfeeding.
During the treatment period, patients should follow a balanced diet, maintain a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health. It is also important to maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
