How to prevent pregnancy after caesarean section?

As we all know, there are two main ways for women to give birth: natural birth and caesarean section. Many girls are unwilling to have a second child after a caesarean section, so contraception is the best method at this time. However, how to use contraception during a caesarean section is also a science, because no matter how you use contraception, it cannot be 100% safe, so female friends must be cautious when choosing a contraceptive method.

Since cesarean section causes great damage to the uterine muscle wall, it is impossible to insert an IUD two to three months after delivery like a natural birth to achieve contraception in one step. Therefore, the contraceptive method varies from person to person and from time to time. Those who do not breastfeed after childbirth can choose short-acting oral contraceptives No. 0 or No. 2, or they can choose to use condoms for contraception. From two months to ten months after delivery, the postoperative scars on the uterine muscle wall are basically softened, and then the IUD is placed to ensure the contraceptive effect. If after examination by a doctor, it is still not possible to have an IUD placed, and you find it inconvenient to use oral contraceptives and condoms, you can use the intradermal implant method for contraception instead. Postpartum breastfeeding women cannot use oral contraceptives for contraception. Because the hormones in the medicine can seriously affect the quality and quantity of breast milk and endanger the health of the baby. The best contraceptive method for such women at this stage is to use condoms until breastfeeding stops (for no less than ten months), and then insert an IUD or implant for contraception.

For those who are not breastfeeding after a cesarean section, the estrogen and progesterone levels in their bodies will mostly approach or return to normal within 2 months, and they will begin to menstruate and ovulate; for those who are breastfeeding, the recovery of the aforementioned hormone levels is slower, but it is still possible to conceive without menstruating 5 months after giving birth. Therefore, those who have a caesarean section should generally start contraception 2 months after delivery.

The above is some information about how girls can prevent pregnancy after having a caesarean section. There are certain risks in childbirth for women, whether it is a natural birth or a caesarean section. If you are not planning to have a second child, you must take contraceptive measures. There are many methods of contraception, and it all depends on personal choice. Of course, no matter which method of contraception you choose, it must be suitable for you.
