Can I still breastfeed after abortion during lactation?

Generally, you can breastfeed your baby during a painless abortion. If you take medication, you have to stop breastfeeding your child. If you need to take anti-inflammatory drugs after surgery, you cannot breastfeed your child for at least a week. Your milk supply will also decrease, which is very bad for the baby.

1. Experts say that breastfeeding women can have abortions, but the operation must be performed with extreme caution. This is because the uterus of a lactating woman is relatively soft, and uterine perforation may occur during an abortion. Therefore, it is recommended that breastfeeding women choose the best painless abortion surgery.

2. If you want to have an abortion during breastfeeding, you should choose surgical abortion, and it is best not to choose medical abortion. On the one hand, medical abortion may not be complete.

Can I have a painless abortion during breastfeeding?

1. The uterus of a lactating woman is relatively soft. Improper operation may lead to uterine perforation. Lactating women must go to a regular professional hospital for abortion and undergo necessary examinations. It is best to choose a minimally invasive uterine-preserving painless abortion performed by an expert personally, which can effectively avoid uterine perforation and other complications.

2. The best time for painless abortion is 35-60 days, and the pregnancy period is calculated from the first day of the last time. The earlier the surgery is performed, the less damage it will cause to the body. Sexual intercourse should be avoided within one week before artificial abortion. You should take a bath and change clothes one day before the operation to avoid catching a cold. Do not eat or drink anything on the morning of surgery. If the body temperature exceeds 37.5℃, surgery should be performed on another day. During the operation, you should cooperate closely with the doctor and don't be too nervous.

3. You should be observed for 2 hours after the abortion procedure, paying attention to vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. If there is no reaction, you can go home.

Therefore, female friends who want to have an abortion during breastfeeding should go to a regular hospital for a gynecological examination. Based on the examination results, in order to effectively avoid uterine perforation or other complications, it is best to choose an abortion surgery with less harm.

The dangers of female abortion

After an abortion, there is a sudden change in the endocrine levels in a woman's body, which makes it difficult for the body to bear and causes harm. If it is done multiple times, the harm will be greater. The following are common harms:

Irregular menstruation

Various abnormal problems may occur after the operation, such as inflammation, uterine perforation, etc., which will disrupt women's physiological cycle and cause irregular menstruation.

Uterine perforation

The likelihood of a woman having uterine perforation is directly proportional to the number of induced abortions she has undergone.

amenorrhea

If the doctor does not operate properly during the cleaning process, the endometrium may be damaged. In particular, repeated miscarriages will continue to damage the female endometrium, causing it to be unable to regenerate its function and resulting in less menstrual flow. When the endometrium is severely damaged, it can cause amenorrhea and even menopause in women.

Increased chance of infertility

Women who have had artificial abortions are much more likely to become infertile than women who have not.

Endocrine disorders

Rash abortion will cause a drastic change in women's secretion levels without a gradual adaptation process. This will cause considerable harm to the body. In severe cases, it may even weaken various body functions and make premature aging more likely.

Abortion without permission is very harmful

If a woman has an abortion in a small clinic due to money or privacy reasons, it may cause great harm to her body and even endanger her life due to substandard medical conditions and inadequate disinfection.

Causes habitual miscarriage and premature birth

This operation will cause more or less harm to the cervix, so there is a possibility of premature birth or habitual miscarriage during the second pregnancy.

Affects the development of the future fetus

A woman's endometrium or myometrium may be damaged during an abortion, which may cause placental dysfunction in the next pregnancy, thereby harming the development of the fetus. In addition, premature birth, stillbirth, etc. may also occur.

Infect

If an infection occurs as a result of the surgery, it can cause inflammation of the reproductive system.

Postpartum hemorrhage

If you become pregnant again after a miscarriage and curettage, it is very easy to have heavy bleeding after giving birth because the placenta blood cannot circulate normally.

Heavy bleeding

Miscarriage may result in heavy bleeding and even anemia.

Cause uterine disease

This operation can cause various uterus-related diseases, such as endometriosis, lower abdominal pain and discomfort, and dysmenorrhea.

Prone to mentally retarded children

If you get pregnant again, the possibility of giving birth to a mentally retarded child increases.
