PCOS does not cause birth defects, but it is a genetic disorder and can be passed down to your children. It also makes getting pregnant very difficult, most couples trying to get pregnant will try fertility medications which can cause birth defects but it is very rare to have a child with such a defect concieved with the aid of fertility medications.
Yes, it will cause birth defect.
Ventricular septal defect affects the ventricles common in babies with down syndrome while atrial septal defect is affecting the atrium.
PCOS does not cause early menopause, but it can cause missed periods. PCOS is something that is best monitored by your doctor because it can actually cause a lot of problems outside of reproductive issues. Insulin resistance, weight gain, joint pain, and depression can all be side effects of PCOS.
No, this would not be a contributing factor to PCOS.
PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) does not have a rigidly defined cause, as mononucleosis and hemophilia do. Instead, PCOS describes a group of related symptoms that occur as a consequence of other factors. High blood sugar can sometimes (though not always) cause hormone imbalances. These imbalances affect the endocrine system, and can result in symptoms of PCOS. The cause is complicated, however -- many women who develop PCOS do not have elevated blood sugar at first, but may develop it later as a consequence of PCOS. It has been established that PCOS is related to insulin resistance and Diabetes, but it is a chicken-and-egg relationship in that which causes the other isn't fully understood. It appears that women may develop PCOS for different reasons. Adrenal abnormalities that cause increased androgen production may contribute to PCOS, with insulin resistance and diabetes as a consequence. Conversely, obesity can lead to insulin resistance, which is a major contributor to hormone imbalances. Because of this, PCOS may arise as a result of inherited traits in some women, while for others it is a consequence of lifestyle or environment.
Yes.... when they'rye not crying, or having a birth defect.

"Congenital" means present at birth. So, a congenital heart defect is a defect (structural anomaly) that is present at birth. 1 in 100 babies are born with a congenital heart defect.
Gastroschisis
This defect may cause children to develop an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid on the brain (hydrocephalus ).
