Patient's question:
I had a cesarean section, and I have a bit of leukorrhea. How can I safely breastfeed now? Do I need to have an IUD inserted?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is speculated that excessive postpartum discharge after cesarean section should use contraceptive measures during intercourse. It is recommended to use oral contraceptives or condoms while breastfeeding. After cesarean section, if there is excessive discharge with inflammation, it is not advisable to use an intrauterine device (IUD). Currently, it is recommended to use condoms or oral long-acting contraceptives in this situation.There are many treatment methods for cesarean section, but because the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic methods used will also differ. Therefore, it is advised that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
