Is lactation pregnant?

summary

During lactation, the anterior pituitary of the lactating mother needs to secrete a large amount of prolactin to promote the mammary gland to secrete milk. Therefore, the function of secreting ovum stimulating hormone from the pituitary gland is relatively inhibited, so that the kinetic energy of the oocyte is inhibited, and the follicle cannot develop into mature eggs. Therefore, women in the lactation period generally do not have ovulation function within half a year to one year, and they will not be pregnant. According to this, many puerpera believe that there is no menstruation during breast-feeding, and they will not get pregnant. Breast feeding is the best simple and easy "contraceptive method", so there is no need to use contraceptive measures. This idea is wrong.

Is lactation pregnant?

First: after a woman gives birth to a child, the recovery of menstrual cycle and ovarian ovulation function varies. For example, some women begin to ovulate 28 days after childbirth and menstruate in a month. Some women, especially those who breast feed their children, return to ovulation and menstrual cycle later. But no matter sooner or later, always want to ovulate first, later menstruation.

Second: if the first time in postpartum ovulation, did not take any contraceptive measures, that is, in the future after childbirth menstruation, may be pregnant first, this is the "dark fetus".

Third: the main way to avoid "dark fetus" is to insist on contraception from the first rooming after delivery. For women with postpartum menstruation in the future, they should go to the hospital every 4-6 weeks for an examination. Once they find "dark fetus", they should take remedial measures to terminate pregnancy.

matters needing attention

Many women are pregnant 2-3 months after delivery, which shows that there is still the possibility of ovulation in the lactation period. Therefore, it is not reliable to use the method of prolonging the lactation period for contraception.
