New York - Frequent exposure to cigarette smoke may have become commonplace for women. But recently a study said, secondhand smoke turns effect on female fertility.
The study, published in the journal Tobacco Control of the Roswell Park Cancer Institute analyzed data on nearly 94 thousand women. It turns out women who are regularly exposed to secondhand smoke have a 15-20 percent greater risk of infertility than women who rarely exposed to smoke.
The lead author, Andrew Hyland, was not surprised at the link between these two things. But he did not expect to do so strong.
"Women who smoke have lower estrogen levels and lower estrogen levels associated with reduced ability to conceive," said Hyland.
Then the women's health expert, Jennifer Wider also mentioned that in tobacco smoke contains nicotine, carbon monoxide, and cyanide which has been shown to accelerate the loss of eggs.
"When the dead sperm could come back, but not with women. When the egg is dead, can not be replaced," said Wider.
Therefore, Hyland advises women to avoid cigarette smoke. If a couple of smoking, for example, ask him or her to smoke outdoors or away from you.
