Yes, PCOS can increase the risk of miscarriage. This is due to several factors, including:
- Hormonal imbalances: The hormonal imbalances associated with PCOS can affect the implantation and development of a fertilized egg.
- Insulin resistance: PCOS is often associated with insulin resistance, which can also increase the risk of miscarriage.
- Endometrial hyperplasia: This condition, which can be caused by PCOS, can make it difficult for a fertilized egg to implant in the uterus.
If you have PCOS and are pregnant, it’s important to receive close prenatal care and monitoring to reduce the risk of miscarriage and other complications.
