Breastfeeding and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

PCOS is a hormonal imbalance that is thought to affect between 10 and 15% of women. It can affect women in many different ways. The range and severity of symptoms vary. These can include an irregular or late onset of the menstrual cycle, fertility problems, recurrent miscarriages, excessive body or facial hair, head-hair loss, acne and weight problems. Insulin resistance and blood lipid abnormalities are also very common. Gestational and adult-onset diabetes can also occur. There are several different ways that PCOS could potentially interfere with breastfeeding. Click the link for helpful resources to learn more about PCOS and how to manage it during lactation.
