Patient's question:
Last night, I had a chat with my wife about our relationship, and I forgot about the condom. We had sex twice, and I used the withdrawal method. She is currently breastfeeding, and I want to know if it's okay to take Yuzhentong orally!!!! First follow-up question: If it's not recommended, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the active ingredients in birth control pills can, on one hand, inhibit the production of prolactin, reducing milk secretion in the mother. As a result, the milk produced by the mother may not be sufficient for the child, which naturally affects the child's nutrition. On the other hand, the active ingredients in birth control pills can enter the infant's body through breast milk, which is not beneficial for the child's growth and development. Therefore, it is not advisable for women to take oral birth control pills while breastfeeding. It is recommended to use methods such as an intrauterine device (IUD) or condoms for contraception.
