How long does the lactation period last?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How long does the breastfeeding period usually last?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, weaning is done between 8 months and 1 year of age. If breast milk is indeed sufficient, it should not be delayed beyond 1.5 years. Otherwise, it may negatively impact development. Additionally, it is best to wean during the spring or autumn seasons, especially avoiding weaning when the child is sick. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to the development of such conditions. Therefore, it is advisable to undergo an ultrasound examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink plenty of water and maintain good personal hygiene.
