Does PCA affect breastfeeding?

 

What is a PCA pain reliever?

and thus she can take care of the infant with ease and movement freely,

and use the toilet without feeling any contractions in the uterus, and return to her life natural quickly.

– The effect of the PCA device extends for up to 5 consecutive days, because the device can be controlled in terms of the period during which analgesics are injected and at a rate suitable for the patient.
