Can women have an abortion during breastfeeding?

Patient's question:

Can you have an abortion during breastfeeding?

Doctor's answer:

Answer: Due to the softness of the uterus during lactation, there is a possibility of uterine perforation when undergoing an abortion during this period. Therefore, women who choose to have an abortion while breastfeeding should go to a regular hospital's gynecology department for relevant examinations. Based on the examination results, it is recommended to choose a superconducting visual painless abortion to effectively avoid uterine perforation or other complications.
Although it is possible to have an abortion while breastfeeding, there are a few important points to note: first, avoid being nervous during the procedure; second, breastfeed for two to three days after the surgery to prevent any medication from affecting the infant, and consider artificial feeding during this period. Third, use a manual breast pump to express milk during the weaning period. This ensures normal milk secretion and helps prevent mastitis.
