With increasing age, women’s fertility continues to decline. Pregnant women must pay attention to the fact that all aspects of daily life may affect the pregnancy rate, especially the following ones have a greater impact on female fertility.
obesity. A 2009 study published in the journal Fertility and Infertility found that women who were obese at age 18 had a higher risk of developing polycystic ovary syndrome, as well as experiencing infertility problems. Too thin. Women who are too thin often have insufficient leptin in their bodies. A 2009 Harvard study found that low levels of leptin can cause menstruation to stop.
“surrounded” by compounds. Studies have shown that exposure to pollutants, pesticides and industrial compounds can reduce couples’ ability to conceive children by 29 percent.
smoking. Not only does smoking reduce a woman’s pregnancy rate, it can also harm a developing fetus. According to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, smoking causes 13 percent of infertility.
Excessive drinking. Excessive drinking is linked to a higher risk of ovulation disorders, doctors warn. A Swedish study that followed more than 7,000 women for 18 years found that women who drank regularly were more likely to seek infertility treatment.
Excessive exercise. Excessive exercise can negatively affect ovulation in women. The study, published in the journal Fertility and Infertility, found that normal-weight women had more than 5 hours of vigorous physical activity per week and had difficulty conceiving. Drink too much coffee. A 2011 study by the Nevada State College of Medicine found that caffeine affects the muscle contractions that carry eggs from the ovaries through the fallopian tubes to the uterus, while a 2012 Danish study found that drinking more than 5 cups of coffee a day reduced women’s chances of IVF success. half.
Too much pressure. A 2014 study published in the journal Human Reproduction found that women who are stressed out and have higher levels of a certain enzyme in their body can have trouble getting pregnant. The researchers say the study does not suggest that stress alone can cause infertility problems, but that women should manage and reduce stress during pregnancy.
Thyroid disease. A 2015 study published in the journal Obstetricians and Gynecologists confirmed a long-held theory that thyroid dysfunction can lead to ovulation and pregnancy problems.
