Breastfeeding pregnancy leads to a lack of milk, will it come back after an abortion?

Patient's question:

Breastfeeding pregnancy leads to a lack of milk, will it return after an abortion? First question supplement: I would like to ask again if it is better to choose medication abortion or surgical abortion in my case? (Based on my own body's recovery) My daughter is currently 4 and a half months old, and I still want to continue breastfeeding her. I also don't want to have any more children in the future.

Doctor's answer:

After a miscarriage during breastfeeding, milk production generally increases. It is recommended to maintain a good mood, avoid mental stress, and drink more soup and other fluids appropriately. For induced abortion or medication abortion, it is advisable to follow the guidance of the attending physician based on ultrasound and other examinations. Rest for 2 weeks after the abortion, avoid cold and spicy foods, alcohol, and increase nutrition. Focus on light and nutritious foods rich in protein, such as fish, meat, eggs, and products, as well as fresh vegetables rich in vitamins. Pay attention to vulvar hygiene; avoid tub baths when vaginal bleeding has not stopped, but showering is allowed. Abstain from sexual activity for one month, and pregnancy should be avoided for at least 6 months.
