Is it allowed to take Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Disorder caused by sexual hormone dysfunction that can lead to problems like infertility, overweight, obesity, breast hypoplasia, gestacional induced diabetes and higher abortion risk, Breastfeeding may be seriously affected (20% of failure after some authors) especially if mammary gland hypoplasia or absence of breast enlargement during pregnancy occurs. Obesity and gestacional Diabetes also may affect breastfeeding. Both disease and medication used for treatment are compatible with breastfeeding. Fighting overweight by means of a hypocaloric diet and physical exercise is most important to improve symptoms of disease. Merformin helps to control Overweight and Diabetes and also ameliorate other symptoms of disease, it is compatible with breastfeeding, but has not been shown to improve milk production. (See specific info) An appropriate breastfeeding technique with frequent feedings, milk expression by the use of pump if required to increase stimulus beside with the use of galactogogues like Domperidone may enhance milk production. If necessary, supplementation with banked milk or artificial formula would be indicated. See below the information of these related products:
