How long can I breastfeed after abortion?

Medical abortion is a commonly used abortion method nowadays, because it is simple and convenient, and the placenta can be detached by taking medicine. However, if the abortion is not clean, it will damage the uterus. Especially for breastfeeding women, endocrine disorders are prone to occur after the abortion, and the milk becomes less nutritious, which is very bad for the baby. Therefore, breastfeeding cannot be done for a period of time after the abortion. So how long can breastfeeding be done after the abortion?

You can breastfeed your baby 4 to 5 days after a medical abortion during breastfeeding, because your body will metabolize the drugs during these few days, so you can breastfeed your baby after about a week.

Because the drugs used for medical abortion contain very high levels of hormones, it is best not to have a medical abortion during the breastfeeding period. If the drugs are metabolized slowly in the body after taking them, it will affect the health of the baby, so it is better to choose surgery instead of medical abortion.

After the medical abortion, you should pay attention to rest. You should wait for five to seven days, which is one week, before you can breastfeed your child. You should pay attention to a light diet and avoid eating irritating or cold foods. You should drink plenty of water to promote your body's metabolism, so that the drugs will not remain in your body for too long.

Women will ovulate during the lactation period. If they become pregnant unexpectedly and need medical abortion, they should stop breastfeeding while taking the medicine, but resume breastfeeding after their body recovers.

Women should pay attention to contraception when having sex during breastfeeding to avoid affecting breastfeeding due to accidental pregnancy. At the same time, if they have undergone medical abortion, they should pay attention to taking care of their body after the abortion and use a breast pump to extract the milk to ensure normal breastfeeding when they start breastfeeding.

After medical abortion, you should also pay attention to a balanced diet to ensure the supply of nutrients so that your body can recover faster.
