Effects of breast-feeding practice on the post-partum endometrium. 1976

R S Freedman, and S Shippel, and D M Hawkins

Inactive endometrial patterns occur frequently in the post-partum period and their occurrence is modified by the breast-feeding practice. An abnormal endometrium pattern, viz., cystic hyperplasia, may occur more frequently in non-lactating women and in patients using oestrogens, especially long-acting preparations, for lactation suppression. Post-ovulatory endometrial patterns in lactating women occur infrequently during the puerperium. The implications of these findings are discussed.
