For most of the women with polycystic ovary disorder (PCOS), problems related to fertility may have been an actual matter in question that needs to be solved. Somehow managing the issue and giving birth to a healthy baby, facing new troubles when attempting to breastfeed is definitely unjustifiable.This article will help you to know the impact of PCOS on breastfeeding.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a complex hormonal imbalance affecting women of reproductive age. It can start during as early as the adolescence or anytime throughout a woman’s reproductive age. This condition is defined by a collection of warning signs like acne, head hair loss, weight issues, the growth of facial hair etc. The changes in the hormone levels make it difficult for the ovaries to release healthy eggs, thus, affecting the fertilization and conception.
Not all the mothers with PCOS have a troublesome time breastfeeding their children (some have reported making an excess of milk which can also be a (positive) result of the overproduction of some hormones), however, numerous women do. Some research conducted in this field uncovered some connection between PCOS and breast milk supply.
Even if a woman possesses PCOS, her chances of struggling hard for the breast milk is one-ninth. Breast milk supply of one-third of the women with PCOS will remain unaffected as another one-third of the PCOS women ends in overproduction of milk. Another one-third shows some degree of milk short but actually,one-third of this last group possesses real struggle in breast milk production.
Managing the PCOS before and during pregnancy, and after the delivery is significant in ensuring good breast milk production.
Most of the breastfeeding problem (even severe) of the PCOS mother can be solved by a lactation consultant along with proper medicines and diet. So don’t worry about PCOS and go ahead with feeding your baby the breast milk as much as you can as no formula milk can ever replace breast milk. Happy feeding.
