Last time, we talked about the problem of medication during lactation, [saving] a group of sick mothers who can only rely on hard work. Today, I plan to talk to mothers again about the medical examination that can be carried out during lactation, so as to help mothers who feel unwell but worry that medical examination will affect lactation to eliminate worries! Of course, we will also mention the examination that does not need to be done during lactation to help mothers save counting tickets.
These 3 common checks can be done!
Ultrasonic examination
The principle of ultrasonic imaging examination is actually [ultrasonic reflection imaging].
Mothers will receive multiple color Doppler ultrasound examinations during the whole pregnancy period. Many mothers meet their babies for the first time on the small black and white screen at the ultrasound examination office. Thus, color Doppler ultrasound is safe for the fetus. Similarly, ultrasound examination during lactation is also safe.
When the mother has breast abscess, the scope of the abscess can be known through ultrasound examination, and doctors can also puncture the abscess under the guidance of ultrasound, thus avoiding incision and drainage.
Therefore, when mothers should have ultrasound examination, don’t hesitate to go.
X-ray, CT
Many people turn pale when they hear X-rays. In fact, medical radiation is within the safe range, so don’t worry. These examinations (excluding radiotherapy for cancer) can be carried out, and even when necessary, mammography is safe to do.
Seeing this, mothers who accidentally took a physical examination and checked their chest radiographs should not be chagrined that they could not nurse. Mothers who endured toothache and did not dare to take dental radiographs can also breathe a sigh of relief.
In addition, considering the influence of CT examination on milk, it is recommended that mothers empty their breasts in advance when performing breast examination.
Magnetic resonance
Magnetic resonance, which sounds mysterious, actually uses electromagnetic waves for imaging, which has no effect on lactation.
For magnetic resonance imaging of some parts, such as breast, [contrast enhancement agent] should be applied. The commonly used contrast agent [Magenweixian] belongs to L2 grade during lactation and can also be used safely without affecting breast feeding.
[Breast milk test], really don’t need to do
Six months after birth, for exclusively breast-fed babies, the mother’s milk is their only source of food. Once the baby’s body has problems, the mother will reflect on [whether she has eaten what she shouldn’t have eaten], [whether her milk is not nutritious enough], and then do the so-called [breast milk test].
In fact, even malnourished mothers secrete enough milk to meet the baby’s nutritional needs.
Similarly, the quality of breast milk will not affect the baby’s weight. If the baby’s milk intake is insufficient, whether the feeding method or frequency is reasonable should be checked first, instead of what [breast milk test].
There is no evidence-based medical basis for component analysis in [breast milk test], and the analyzer of the test cannot detect hundreds of immune factors that breast milk is superior to formula milk. At present, this test is just like [excretion of residual milk] as a market gimmick, not a medical need, so mothers should not waste money on breast milk analysis.
The breast-feeding mother is ill, The medicine that should be taken should still be taken, The inspection that should be done should also be done in time. Once there is a what abnormality in the body, Also want to see a doctor as soon as possible, don’t be afraid of affecting feeding and have been dragging on. Can do the examination at ease and boldly to do, unsure of the examination in time to ask the doctor. Adhere to breast-feeding mother is really not easy, must pay attention to their own body, be better to yourself, can’t because of feeding baby, just ignore yourself yo.
