High alcohol intake can affect female fertility

High alcohol intake can affect female fertility
Women who drink 14 or more servings of alcohol a week are likely to have an 18 per cent decrease in their fertility.

‘If a couple is experiencing difficulty in conceiving, it makes sense for both partners to cut down on their alcohol intake,’ Britton noted in the paper published by The BMJ . The study included 6,120 female Danish residents, aged 21-45 years to examine the association between pre-conception alcohol consumption and time to pregnancy. The study assessed overall alcohol consumption as well as intake of specific types of alcoholic beverages, including beer, wine, and spirits. Alcohol consumption was self-reported as beer (330 mL bottles), red or white wine (120 mL glasses), dessert wine (50 mL glasses), and spirits (20 mL), and was categorised in standard servings per week (none, 1-3, 4-7, 8-13, and 14/more). In women who drank 14 or more servings of alcohol a week, there were 37 pregnancies in 307 cycles, compared with 1381 pregnancies in 8,054 cycles in women who did not drink. Here are 10 everyday things that can make you infertile, beware.
