Breastfeeding is not a safe period for pregnancy!

　　Some people think that Postpartum Breastfeeding is a "safe period" and you don't need to take any contraceptive measures to have sex. This is unscientific. According to survey statistics, about 1/3 of wet nurses will become pregnant before menstruation resumes. This shows that lactation is definitely not a "safe period" and using lactation for contraception is unreliable. Once pregnant, the wet nurse has no choice but to have an abortion, and at this time Uterus It is relatively thin, brittle, and soft. It can easily cause uterine perforation and cause heavy bleeding during artificial abortion, which is very harmful to the body of the wet nurse. If a woman who had a cesarean section becomes pregnant, it will be more difficult to undergo an artificial abortion and the harm to the body will be greater. Needless to say, this will seriously affect or even interrupt breastfeeding.

　　For mothers who exclusively breastfeed, if they feed day and night baby and amenorrhea , then the contraceptive effect can reach more than 95% within 6 months, but you must continue to breastfeed, and it must be in the amenorrhea state. If you only feed breast milk a few times, or your menstruation has resumed, the effect is unreliable.

　　At present, the more suitable method of contraception during lactation is instrumental contraception. Because the commonly used contraceptive pills are hormones, such as oral contraceptive pills No. 1 and No. 2, which can not only reduce milk secretion after taking them, but also enter the baby's body through breastfeeding, which will have adverse effects on the baby. Commonly used contraceptive tools include condoms, vaginal diaphragms, intrauterine devices, etc. Penile condom contraception is simple to use, very easy to master, and the effect is reliable. As long as it is used correctly, the success rate is higher than that of the IUD. Vaginal diaphragm contraception has good contraceptive effect, with a contraceptive rate of up to 98%. There is no foreign body sensation or sexual disturbance, but the technical requirements for use are relatively high, and maintenance after use is also troublesome. To use this method of contraception, you must first ask Gynecology The doctor performs a gynecological examination, selects an appropriate model according to the size of the vagina, and is guided by the doctor to learn how to insert and remove it. For people with uterine prolapse or loose vaginal walls, the position of the uterine cap is difficult to fix and the effect will be poor, so this method should not be used. If menstruation occurs 3 months after delivery, the mother can choose to insert an intrauterine device.

　　Generally speaking, the contraceptive effect of the intrauterine device is ideal. Because it is easy to use, does not affect sex appeal, and has good safety effects, it is currently the most commonly used and popular female contraceptive tool in my country, and it is also a more suitable contraceptive tool for breastfeeding mothers. But if the mother has premature rupture of membranes or infection after delivery fever and postpartum hemorrhage, consider delaying the placement time.

　　Breastfeeding mothers are not allowed to take birth control pills because their bodies are in a state of adjustment after childbirth, especially their endocrine changes. Taking birth control pills at this time will affect the quality of milk, which is harmful to newborns. healthy unfavorable. In addition, oral contraceptives can also inhibit milk secretion, which will affect the smooth progress of breastfeeding. Therefore, during this special period, pregnant women should not use long-acting contraceptive pills or short-acting contraceptive pills. Of course, mothers who are not breastfeeding can choose to use it if their endocrine system has basically returned to normal after confinement.
