Postpartum Contraception First Eliminates Two Misunderstandings: Teaching Skillful Contraception During Breastfeeding

After giving birth to the baby, the new parents start to pay attention to contraceptive measures when they are roommates again. There are many contraceptive methods, but the following four are very dangerous for new parents and can easily lead to "human life". Parents who use the following four contraceptive methods suspect they may be pregnant, so go to the hospital for examination immediately and change to a safer contraceptive method

1、 Contraception after menstruation? Wrong!

What has been frustrating for Mr. Cheng recently is that he has just given birth to a child, but his body has not yet recovered and he is pregnant again. The postpartum sexual activity with her husband was carried out after childbirth, and her menstrual cycle had not yet recovered. There were still two people's enthusiasm, so there was no contraception. Who would have thought she would be caught so quickly.

In fact, before menstruation resumes, the new mother's ovaries have the possibility of ovulation, which actually meets the basic conditions for pregnancy. Many people in daily life believe that if a mother does not menstruate during breastfeeding, she will not become pregnant, so she does not use contraception, resulting in an unexpected pregnancy. Mr. Cheng belongs to this situation.

Pregnancy again in a short period of time after childbirth, due to the fact that the uterine wall muscle tissue has not yet returned to normal, the uterus is very soft and difficult to contract, which can easily cause complications such as mechanical injury, excessive bleeding, and uterine perforation during abortion surgery. Especially for new mothers who undergo cesarean section, although the incision on the uterine wall has healed after surgery, scarring replaces the original muscle tissue, making it more prone to danger in induced abortion. So new moms must be cautious!

2、 Is lactation absolutely safe? Error!

The postpartum lactation period is actually equivalent to a safe period, and there is no need to use contraception during sexual activity. This concept is also not scientific. According to survey statistics, about one-third of pregnant women become pregnant during breastfeeding. This indicates that it is unreliable for new mothers to use breastfeeding contraception.

Teach you how to use contraception during lactation

There are many contraceptive methods that lactating women choose, and the general principle is that it does not affect the secretion of milk and the growth and development of the baby. Women can choose according to their actual situation and smoothly pass the lactation period.

Intrauterine device (IUD) is a safe, convenient, and cost-effective contraceptive method. In China, about 40% of women of childbearing age use intrauterine devices. Women who are still breastfeeding after six months postpartum may consider placing an intrauterine device. At present, in addition to metal single rings and copper V-rings, there are also intrauterine devices that can release progesterone and hemostatic drugs. The latter can significantly reduce bleeding and pain while increasing contraceptive effectiveness. The contraceptive effect of intrauterine devices can be maintained for 5-10 years.
