Patient's question:
Do you need contraception during breastfeeding???Doctor's answer:
It's best to use tools for contraception, such as condoms. Drug contraception or implants are not recommended. Drug contraception can be used by healthy women of childbearing age. However, it is contraindicated for those with liver or kidney diseases or during lactation, as the drug can be absorbed by the infant through breastfeeding, leading to abnormal development. Other conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure, thrombosis, blood disorders, tumors, diabetes, infrequent menstruation, and endometrial atrophy are also unsuitable for drug contraception. An intrauterine device (IUD) can be placed three months after a natural birth and six months after a cesarean section.
