Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 24 years old, female, and just got pregnant this year. I don't really want this child, so I had an abortion. But I feel it might be bad for my health, and I want to wean to prepare for the next child. How can I wean after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, hormonal changes can lead to the illusion of milk production, which may cause milk secretion. If the milk production is excessive, appropriate oral medication for milk suppression may be necessary. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can take malt water or milk suppression tea. It is also recommended to maintain a light diet and avoid greasy foods. Generally, milk suppression can be achieved within about a week. Regulating physical and mental health, maintaining personal hygiene, and avoiding bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity are important.
