Patient's question:
Can you take birth control pills during breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
During lactation, contraceptive pills should not be consumed because breastfeeding is strictly prohibited during this period. Contraceptive pills can enter breast milk, and after being sucked by the infant, they may cause precociousness and other abnormal conditions. Additionally, contraceptive pills can inhibit the function of the hypothalamus, increase the secretion of prolactin, and gradually increase milk production. Therefore, during lactation, it is recommended to use condoms for breastfeeding and strictly avoid drug-induced breastfeeding.
