Cigarette smoking is harmful to the ovaries, and the degree of damage is dependent upon the amount and length of the time a woman smokes or is exposed to a smoked environment. Nicotine and other harmful chemicals in cigarettes interfere with the body’s ability to create estrogen, a hormone that regulates folliculogenesis and ovulation. Female smokers also have decreased rates of fertility and decreased fallopian tube function. It not only can lead to all kinds of serious problems with the baby but also reduces the chances of IVF producing a live birth by 34% and increases the risk of an IVF pregnancy miscarrying by 30%. A pregnant woman who smokes also adds a risk to pregnancy.
Life Management strategies recommended:
• Start by quitting
• Eat a well-balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D
• Avoid excessive use of alcohol
• Exercise Regularly
• Be Nature friendly
• Be Your Own Bodyguard
SAY NO TO SMOKING
