How long after an abortion can one breastfeed?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In such cases, if you choose a painless abortion, it is best to wait for one week before considering breastfeeding. If you choose a conventional abortion, you can start breastfeeding earlier. Generally, it is acceptable to breastfeed after more than five days. It is important to pay attention to postoperative anti-inflammatory care and take medication to promote uterine recovery. Additionally, maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia and continue regular follow-up with ultrasound examinations.
