Patient's question:
Can I take birth control pills during breastfeeding? Should I undergo treatment? How should I be treated?Doctor's answer:
Lactation is strictly prohibited for taking contraceptive drugs. Contraceptive drugs contain androgens, progestogens, and other hormones, which are secreted through breast milk and can affect the growth and development of infants. At the same time, they can interfere with milk excretion. Therefore, taking contraceptive drugs during lactation is strictly forbidden. Additionally, patients with hyperthyroidism, diabetes, depression, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, or vasculoneural headaches are also not recommended to take contraceptive drugs.
