Is it safe to breastfeed while consuming alcohol?

Patient's Query

Can I breastfeed while having alcoho

Gynecologyy

Answered by Dr. Nisarg Patel

It is generally recommended to avoid consuming alcohol while breastfeeding, as alcohol can pass into breast milk and affect your baby. Even small amounts of alcohol can potentially be harmful to a nursing infant. When you consume alcohol, it enters your bloodstream, and some of it will be present in your breast milk. As a result, your baby will consume the alcohol when they breastfeed. Infants metabolize alcohol at a slower rate than adults, which means it can take longer for their bodies to eliminate it.
Alcohol consumption while breastfeeding can have several negative effects on your baby. And the safest approach for your baby's health is to abstain from alcohol while breastfeeding.

Hi Sir, I have been operated for an ectopic pregnancy 4 years ago. I'm now 35 years old. My hormonal profile and my husband's sperm analysis is normal. HSG showed a fimbria end block. What options should I consider for fertility?

Have you checked the AMH level of yourself, and also the antral follicle count in Sonography?

Hsg is not the absolute report, probability of it being right is 60% since the patient is conscious and the procedure itself is painful, thus the report can falsely show positive/negative indication. The true status of the tube is better assessed by a diagnostic hysterolaparoscopy, wherein we put a telescope in your abdomen.

If in any doubt, then approach doctors from this page - Ivf doctors in India, or you can seek help from me too.

Iam 20 year female, I have a 26 day menstrual cycle. Every month 11th I have my menstrual period. This month 10th I had an unprotected Sex and it was my first sex. On 11th I didn't get my menstrual period. On 12th afternoon at 3 pm I took levonorgestrel pill. After that on 13th I felt dizziness and from 2 days iam frequently urinating. Now today the date is 16th it's been 5 days I have put on the pill. But I didn't get menstrual period. Iam very afraid. I don't want to get pregnant. Iam unmarried. Please check my situation.

Female | 20

The indications of instability, as well as frequent urination, are the side effects that come with the intake of a levonorgestrel pill, in some cases. One of the repercussions of this pill is an alteration in your menstrual cycle, i.e., a late period. More often than not, it is a typical reaction to developed bleeding, i.e., the moment after the pill is consumed when the period is expected. Keep a cool head and try to avoid getting stressed out, because stress has an impact on your period. If you did not have your period after the first week or two, it is advisable to take a pregnancy test to be 100% sure.

Im 21 year old female My periods are regular But this month I haven't got my period yet last month I got on 17th Today I have seen slight bleeding while urinating I have also gained weight as I have changed my diet last month Is there anything to worry

Female | 21

It's perfectly normal to be concerned when your body changes, however, try not to worry too much. A little bit of blood when you pee and gain weight might be linked to fluctuating hormones or a shift in your diet. It could also mean that your period is changing due to stress or a change in what you eat. Watch for a while longer; if things don’t seem right, talk to a gynecologist..

Am 28 the pregnancy test shows negative, and am yet to see my period for d month

Female | 28

If your pregnancy test is negative and you haven't had your period this month, it is likely due to stress or irregular hormone levels. High stress can affect your hormones in various ways. Even if the test is negative, it may not be entirely accurate. Surround yourself with loved ones and laughter to boost your well-being. Stay calm, maintain a healthy diet, and stay hydrated. If this issue persists, consult a gynecologist.

Mera delivery date nikl gyi or doctor bole ki bache ke Gale me 3 naal fasi he kya meri normal delivery ho sakti h

Female | 24

If the doctor says there are three cords around the baby's neck, it's called a nuchal cord. This is a common occurrence and is usually not dangerous. To ensure the delivery goes smoothly, the doctor will monitor the baby closely to make sure there are no complications. Most babies with a nuchal cord are born healthy. So, stay optimistic and follow the doctor's instructions carefully.

Is it possible two days after sexual intercourse to test if you are pregnant?

Female | 42

PREGNANCY TESTS can detect pregnancy hormones 2 weeks after conception. It's unlikely to detect pregnancy within 2 days post-sex!!! A wait of at least 1 week after missed period ideal... Using test kits too early may give false negative results. CONSULT a doctor if pregnancy suspected for accurate testing.

Ovaries -Mildly-Thick Endometrium

Female | 24

Healthy ovaries produce eggs and hormones. It’s the place where a fertilized egg can develop in the uterus. When the endometrium gets slightly thicker, it can be a result of hormonal changes. Signs may be irregular menses or menorrhagia. Treatment may involve hormonal therapy or dealing with underlying conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Visit a gynecologist for further treatment.

My abdomen is sensitive to the touch I have naseua for the past week. Am I possibly pregnant bc my stomach feels hard but I’m on depo

Female | 18

Feeling uncomfortable in your stomach and experiencing nausea doesn't always signify pregnancy. It's good you're using Depo as birth control. The hardness could result from bloating or muscle tightness. Stress and diet changes sometimes cause these symptoms too. If it continues, consider consulting a gynecologist.

Mera misscareg 1 month 2din ho gaya lekin abhi tak period nahi aaya hai kya kare

Female | 25

After a miscarriage, it is normal for your menstrual cycle to take some time to return to its regular pattern. The time it takes for your periods to resume can vary from person to person.

In most cases, it may take a few weeks to a couple of months for your menstrual cycle to return to normal after a miscarriage. This delay is often due to hormonal changes and the body's natural healing process.

Have heavy discharg after periods every month for continuous days Colour - whitish yellow Heavy sticky and sometimes liquid like watery Strong odour fishy smell and itching Many times that private portion swelling during discharge I fell

Female | 22

You might have a problem with BV. In this case, when there is a loss of balance between positive and negative bacteria in your vagina, it causes the said symptoms. To help, instead of using chemically scented soap in the infected area, you can use mild soap, wear loose cotton underwear, and avoid douching. If the symptoms worsen, seeking a gynecologist for additional advice is highly recommended to ensure you get the right care.

Hi - I am currently pregnant and need a clarity on my conception date. To give a bit of background- I was on combined contraceptive pills (Ovranette) until 9th of March, when I came off it after finishing a pill pack. I got my withdrawal bleeding on 12th March(which I consider as the first day of myLMP) I tested positive for pregnancy on 11th April when my periods didn’t arrive. I had two ultrasound scan so far - one on 2nd May when the gestation age was measured as 7 weeks 2 days as per ultrasound and the second one on 9th May when the gestation age was measured as 8 weeks 2 days as per ultrasound. Since I conceived the next month after coming off pill, I need some clarity on when did the conception happen. I had 2 times sexual intercourse during this time - one on 12th March (couple of hours before commencing my withdrawal bleeding) and the next one on 23rd March - would like to know which intercourse has resulted in the pregnancy

Female | 32

According to what you’ve said it’s more likely that the sexual intercourse on 23rd March caused your pregnancy. Typically, a pregnancy test becomes positive about 4 weeks after conception which matches the dates. Having taken the pill, you can easily mistake withdrawal bleeding for your normal period. Some symptoms such as positive pregnancy tests and ultrasound findings indicate that it happened after 12th March. The best thing to do now is keep seeing a gynecologist.
