Patient's question:
Can medication abortion be performed while breastfeeding? This child has been in this condition for some time and is afraid to take medication. Please give advice to the doctor.Doctor's answer:
Women can undergo medication abortion during breastfeeding. As for the medication chosen for medication abortion, it must be used under the guidance and observation of a doctor. Two to three days after an artificial abortion, it is best not to breastfeed when taking anti-inflammatory drugs. Women who undergo medication abortion during breastfeeding should pay attention to increasing their nutrition. During medication abortion, the amount of vaginal bleeding is usually more than the normal menstrual flow, so after the procedure, it is recommended to eat more iron-rich foods or take iron supplements, as well as consume more protein and vitamin-rich foods.
