It’s Not All About the Ovaries: Supporting Lactation with PCOS

Tracks: Physiology and Endocrinology, Pathology

This presentation looks at the risk factors to milk production for parents with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and altered metabolic function. We will delve into the four types of PCOS and their connection to metabolic function and lactation, as well as provide guidance on interpreting lab results, safe and effective interventions to support milk production, and addressing personal biases. This presentation will also examine the impact of ethnicity and socioeconomic status on PCOS risk and explore systemic change. We will discuss functional interventions and the development of care plans which can be individualized throughout the peripartum period to improve lactation outcomes.

Learning Objectives: 

  • Identify at least 3 symptoms and common findings of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
  • Evaluate milk production risks for patients with PCOS and the connection to metabolic function
  • Identify at least 2 safe and effective interventions to support lactation for families with PCOS
  • Create individualized prenatal and postpartum care plans for patients, taking into consideration the impact of personal biases and addressing risk factors associated with the condition
