Re: But What, Precisely, Are the Risks?From: Sue (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 22 Apr 2002 11:07:43 -0500 (CDT)
>I've printed out the responses for discussion with my new doctor when I get one, but still need to know what the risks are. What is the risk for my little guy? What is the risk to me of leaving the PCOS untreated for perhaps another year?< Is it safe to presume you're still talking about nursing and taking met? There are too many discussions going on at once to keep track of it all w/o some sort of reminder.... The precise risks are nothing that we here can tell you, and likely a RE won't be able to do so, either (for reasons stated earlier). Your child's pediatrician should really be the final say in something like this--yes, your health is at risk (by not treating your condition), but if you are that concerned about what's in your milk, then you need to discuss it with your pediatrician. Likely, your pedes dr won't be able to list exact risks, so the decision will once again come back to you. How important is it to nurse your child for an extended period of time? Most pediatricians will strongly recommend nursing to one year (for nutritional purposes), but after that indicate that there is little NEED for the child to continue nursing strictly from a nutritional standpoint. It's a balancing act, and only you can determine what's in your heart and mind concerning this matter. I went untreated with PCO for several years and can tell you that my condition deteriorated significantly in that time period, but everyone is different. If it's possible, get a conference call going with your RE and pedes dr, or have them contact each other and hash out concerns and details.
