I had pcos before conceiving and it took us a while to get pregnant. Someone told me sometimes it gets better after delivery, is that actually true ya just a myth? Curious if anyone here saw their cysts improve post baby.
Scientifically speaking, PCOS is a metabolic condition, so there isn't a permanent cure even after pregnancy. However, many women see their periods become regular postpartum. It's best to consult your gynecologist or an endocrinologist for a proper evaluation of your hormone levels later.
I am actually trying to conceive with PCOS right now, and it is quite stressful. From what my doctor mentioned, pregnancy doesn't cure it permanently, but it can sometimes improve insulin sensitivity temporarily. Wishing you a healthy recovery and a happy journey ahead.
I had a C-section recently and used to worry about my PCOS too. Right now, my focus is entirely on healing from the surgery, but my doctor told me my cycles might be different now. Don't stress about PCOS right now, let your body recover from delivery first.
Betaji, PCOS completely leaves the body only when we maintain a good lifestyle. After pregnancy, focus on home-cooked fresh meals, and you can slowly start having soaked methi seeds in the morning if your doctor allows. Keep active around the house, that is the best natural way to keep it in check.
Listen, don't worry too much about a permanent 'cure'. PCOS is a lifestyle thing, so it doesn't just disappear after baby, but pregnancy hormones can sometimes reset your cycle for a while. Just focus on your recovery right now, and we will handle the rest with good food and walking later, okay?
To be honest, no, it doesn't magically cure itself. I've had two kids and my PCOS is still there, but managing it became easier once I fixed my daily routine. Postpartum, focus on a high-protein diet and strength training once you are fully healed.
Oh, I am currently in my 6th month and I also have PCOS! I was actually wondering the same thing if it goes away after giving birth. Let's hope our hormones balance out naturally postpartum, do share if your doctor says anything about this!
