Patient's question:
Patient Gender: Can a woman who is breastfeeding get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Yes, ovulation will return three months after childbirth. The menstrual period usually occurs half a month after ovulation. During this period, if no contraceptive measures are taken, pregnancy may occur. Breastfeeding women are best advised to start using contraception three months after childbirth. If pregnancy occurs again at this time, it will not only reduce milk production and affect the growth and development of the infant but also pose another harmful impact on the body of the postpartum woman, causing physical and mental harm to the woman.
