Which among the following is the ideal contraception for lactating mothers?
Correct Answer: Lactational amenorrhoea
Description: The lactational amenorrhea method can be a highly efficient method for breastfeeding women to use physiology to space bihs. Suckling results in a reduction in the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Beta endorphins induced by suckling also induce a decline in the secretion of dopamine, which normally suppresses the release of prolactin. This results in a condition of amenorrhea and anovulation.
