Patient's question:
I am a woman who is currently breastfeeding. However, during the supply period, the decision was made to have a natural birth. My body has actually fully recovered quite well. So, my husband and I can enjoy some intimate moments. But I am also sad about getting pregnant again during breastfeeding. I know this period is not suitable for pregnancy, but I also want to ask the doctor how I should breastfeed during lactation?Doctor's answer:
Actually, what needs attention is that about 40 days after a natural birth, you can resume sexual activity. The best method is to use condoms. If you don't use condoms, you can decide to use a vaginal ring. A better option is to get an intrauterine device (IUD). This can prevent many issues. The best time to get an IUD is within 3-7 days after your period ends, and you should not have sexual activity during this time. However, it is not recommended to have sexual activity while using an IUD.
