Patient's question:
I just got married to my boyfriend, and we have a relatively frequent sex life. However, since we are still young, we're not in a hurry to have children. I'd like to ask what methods can be the most effective for breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, considering your situation, it might be that you haven't conceived. For those who haven't been preparing for childbirth for a long time, the intrauterine device (IUD) can be chosen for breastfeeding, which can achieve long-term breastfeeding effects. If you plan to have children in the near future, using condoms for breastfeeding is a safer option with minimal side effects. Additionally, you can take emergency contraception within 72 hours of intercourse. However, birth control pills contain hormones and should not be taken frequently, as they may cause side effects, ranging from severe menstrual disorders to infertility. Another option is coitus interruptus, which is also a breastfeeding method but carries certain risks. This is because a small amount of pre-ejaculate fluid, which contains sperm, may leak into the vagina before ejaculation, leading to pregnancy.
