Patient's question:
I've been breastfeeding my child at home for three months since giving birth. My period is now normal, and menopause is also normal. I'm very afraid of getting pregnant again accidentally, as I can't handle it alone. I thought taking the pill would be simpler. Can I take birth control pills while breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
Do not take birth control pills as much as possible during breastfeeding, because the child is still breastfeeding, and it is feared that it will affect the child's growth and development. Birth control pills contain hormones, so other contraceptive measures can be adopted, such as wearing condoms or having sex during the safe period, which have a relatively small chance of pregnancy. If a mother frequently takes birth control pills, it may lead to menstrual disorders and endocrine disorders again, which is not good for a woman's body.
