Patient's question:
Six months ago, I contracted lupus, almost all over my body. It appeared again, severe like burns, and my skin was somewhat rusted. Sometimes the pain and itching would leave me feeling like a wreck. With this condition, I can't get pregnant, as it would be contagious. How can lupus patients breastfeed?Doctor's answer:
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a disease that can cause local skin and mucosal inflammation. During the acute phase, it is necessary to apply topical corticosteroid creams locally. From a health perspective, this disease does not recommend pregnancy. Breastfeeding methods can be adopted, long-term intrauterine devices can also be used, and male use of condoms for breastfeeding. Additionally, it is important to avoid prolonged sun exposure and engage in appropriate physical exercise.
