Patient's question:
I'm married now but haven't had a child for a while and want one. However, I've been worried about it. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said everything was fine, but I'm still concerned about whether it might cause female infertility. What are the most common causes of female infertility?Doctor's answer:
If women smoke, it can cause significant harm to their bodies. The nicotine and tar in cigarettes can trigger systemic vasculitis, affecting the uterine vessels. Smoking increases the likelihood of early pregnancy complications, such as recurrent miscarriage in the early to mid-term, and is one of the most dangerous complications during pregnancy—gestational hypertension. Long-term smoking can also damage the body's entire hormone system, disrupt ovarian function, and lead to endocrine disorders, resulting in infertility. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
