How long can I breastfeed after painless abortion under general anesthesia1

  It is only suitable for women to breastfeed their babies after half a month of general anesthesia abortion. If women do not undergo general anesthesia surgery, they can breastfeed their babies three days after surgery. After undergoing general anesthesia surgery, women need to breastfeed their babies for a period of time because anesthetics need time to be excreted from the body. If the baby is breastfed too early, it is easy for the anesthetics to enter the baby's body and affect their brain and nerve development.

  In addition, women who want to undergo abortion surgery during lactation need to determine the timing of the abortion, preferably within 50 days of pregnancy, so as not to harm the body easily. However, if a woman has just given birth and her uterus is relatively soft at this time, undergoing an abortion during lactation may result in uterine perforation. Women need to go to regular hospitals for physical examinations to determine the best surgical plan and reduce the impact of surgery on the body.

  Moreover, for the sake of the baby's physical health, it is generally recommended for women to choose abortion surgery during breastfeeding. Medical abortion surgery may harm the baby's physical health. During the period when women stop breastfeeding, babies can consume formula milk to avoid delayed development. In addition, women should take contraceptive measures after giving birth. To ensure that there is no chance of pregnancy, women can directly prohibit sexual activity until their body fully recovers.
