Is contraception good during lactation?

Patient's question:

Is contraception good during lactation?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, during the postpartum lactation period, it is important to pay attention to contraception whether or not menstruation occurs. The most recommended method of contraception is the intrauterine device (IUD). If the uterus has returned to normal at the 42-day postpartum follow-up and there are no contraindications, an IUD can be inserted. Additionally, condoms and subdermal implants can be used for contraception. The least recommended method is oral contraceptives, as they can affect breastfeeding.
