How long after medical abortion can I breastfeed?

Medical abortion has both certain advantages and disadvantages in clinical practice, but relatively speaking, many women believe that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Unless under extremely special circumstances, they are still unwilling to choose this method. Because if the flow is not clean, it may cause serious problems to the body. So the question is, how long after medical abortion can a woman breastfeed?

Medical abortion only has no effect on normal breastfeeding due to the progesterone, so breastfeeding can generally be normal.

principle

Medical abortion is suitable for terminating a pregnancy within 49 days. After using the drug, the activity of progesterone in the body decreases, causing miscarriage. The drug is then used to cause the uterus to contract strongly, forcing the pregnancy tissue out of the body.

Medical abortion is a method of using drugs to cause degeneration and necrosis of the uterine decidua, soften the cervix, and simultaneously cause the uterus to contract, forcing the embryo out of the body. During this process, the patient will feel pain in the lower abdomen due to uterine contractions, and the pain will vary depending on individual tolerance.

Adapt to the crowd

1. Healthy women under 40 years of age who voluntarily request to terminate their pregnancy, whose menstruation has stopped within 49 days and whose pregnancy is confirmed to be intrauterine.

2. No history of chronic disease or allergic asthma.

3. Those who are confirmed positive by B-ultrasound examination and urine pregnancy test.

4. Women who have not received glucocorticoid treatment in the past 3 months.

harm

1. Failed abortion

After 8 days of medication, the fetal sac was not expelled, and B-ultrasound examination confirmed that there was still pregnancy in the uterus. In this case, you must go to the hospital for a uterine curettage.

2. Excessive blood loss, life-threatening

Especially when the bleeding is severe and does not stop, if the uterus is not cleaned and blood transfusion is not performed in time, the chance of rescue will be lost and the life may be in danger.

3. Side effects of medical abortion

In addition to gastrointestinal reactions such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, prolonged bleeding and heavy bleeding are the main side effects of medical abortion. Drug treatment is ineffective, and uterine curettage is required when necessary. Medical abortion must be performed in a medical institution with regular rescue conditions. Medical abortion has strong indications. If people who buy the medicine privately do not understand these indications, or if people who are not suitable for medical abortion buy the medicine to have an abortion on their own, it is very dangerous.
