Patient's question:
During lactation, I had sex with a man out of impulse, and now I'm very worried about getting pregnant. Could you please tell me how effective contraception is during lactation?Doctor's answer:
In your case, you must decide to take emergency contraception within 72 hours after sexual intercourse to prevent the risk of pregnancy. However, since you are breastfeeding, you should stop breastfeeding for at least one month after taking the medication and switch to formula feeding to avoid the effects of the contraceptive medication on the baby's growth and development. In the future, it is best to use a condom for breastfeeding.Gynecology has a significant impact on patients. Once you notice any symptoms, you should seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to self-care. Eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid foods, and hope that gynecology patients can receive professional treatment.
