Is it better to have an abortion during breastfeeding or a medical abortion?

1. It is best for breastfeeding mothers to choose artificial abortion surgery rather than medical abortion. On the one hand, medical abortion can easily result in incomplete abortion and excessive bleeding. Incomplete abortion requires a second curettage, which is undoubtedly another injury to the fragile uterus. If the mother's physical condition is not very good, it is better not to have medical abortion for the sake of her health. On the other hand, medical abortion is a method of abortion performed using drugs. Long-term intake of drugs will affect breast milk. For the health of you and your baby, it is better to avoid medical abortion.

2. The side effects of medical abortion can cause gradual menstrual disorders, which can be manifested as shortened or prolonged menstrual cycles and increased menstrual flow. For breastfeeding mothers, the biggest impact is on breast milk. Because the ingredients of the drug will be discharged through the mammary glands and absorbed by the baby during breastfeeding, the baby's ability to compensate for the drug is weak, and the drugs in breast milk will have adverse effects on the baby's body.

3. It can be seen that it is best not to use medical abortion during pregnancy during breastfeeding. Moreover, current medical regulations stipulate that medical abortion can only be used in health care institutions with certain equipment, because surgical curettage is required in cases of heavy bleeding or prolonged bleeding, and anti-infection, infusion and blood transfusion treatment may be required. Therefore, do not abuse it at home. The decision should be made by an experienced obstetrician and gynecologist based on the specific circumstances.
