Patient's question:
I'm married now but haven't had any children yet and want to have one. However, I've been worried and kept going to the hospital for check-ups. The doctor said everything is normal, but I'm still quite concerned about whether it might be a problem. 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 first and second trimesters, 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!
