Detailed Solution

Menstruation typically does not occur during intense lactation due to the suppression of ovulation by the hormone prolactin, which is involved in milk production.
The lactational amenorrhea method (LAM) is not of high contraceptive efficiency. There is a risk of conception associated with this method.
It is a natural method of contraception with no side effects (as no hormones or chemicals are involved).
It is effective until 6 months after parturition, when lactation is intense.
