Can I express breast milk after abortion?

Women will also produce milk after an abortion, because abortion, like normal childbirth, will secrete progesterone and estrogen. Under the action of hormones, the female breast will secrete milk. However, if milk appears after abortion, it must not be squeezed out, otherwise it will only increase. If you ignore it, it will slowly recover after a period of rest. So can I express breast milk after abortion?

You cannot squeeze milk after a miscarriage. If you squeeze it with your hands, the milk will increase. This is the same as milk production during a normal delivery. However, due to the short pregnancy period, the milk production time is usually shorter and the amount is less. It usually disappears after one to two weeks.

The operation takes about 3-5 minutes. After the operation, the uterus will contract and there may be a little pain, similar to dysmenorrhea. You need to wear a sanitary napkin before the operation. There will be bleeding, which will last about 3-7 days. Generally, vaginal bleeding does not exceed 10 days. It is normal if it is no brighter than menstrual period. You should go to a regular hospital for a painless visual uterine-preserving abortion, which will help you recover faster and with less bleeding. Pay attention to contraception after the operation and avoid having too many abortions, which will cause habitual miscarriage or even infertility and affect fertility.

If you squeeze with your hands, you will continue to secrete milk, which may cause breast inflammation. If the amount of milk secretion is more after miscarriage and you feel breast engorgement, you can use milk-reducing drugs. Commonly used drugs include malt. Take 60 grams of it every day, soak it in boiling water and drink it as tea for 3-5 days. You can also take vitamin B6 orally, 20 tablets each time, three times a day. After 3-5 days, the breast pain will disappear, which means the milk will return.

After pregnancy, due to the significant increase in estrogen and progesterone levels, the mammary ducts in the breast will expand and lengthen, the alveoli will fully develop and move closer to each other, the epithelial cells will begin to secrete, the mammary gland stroma will decrease, and the capillaries will dilate and become congested. These changes are all to make adequate preparations for breastfeeding. After giving birth, due to the large amount of secretion of prolactin and other effects, the mother begins to secrete milk. Abortion is the artificial termination of pregnancy. It is normal to have milk, which will disappear on its own after a few days. Pay attention to the cleanliness of your breasts.
