April is Alcohol Awareness Month! We have some eye-opening facts on the impacts of alcohol on reproductive health:
🚼 Male Fertility: Alcohol consumption can decrease s***m quality and quantity, affecting the ability to conceive. Studies suggest that excessive drinking can lead to decreased testosterone levels, erectile dysfunction, and even infertility.
👩👩👦 Female Fertility: Alcohol can disrupt hormone levels, menstrual cycles, and ovulation, making it harder to get pregnant. It can also increase the risk of miscarriage and complications during pregnancy.
🤰 Pregnancy Risks: Consuming alcohol during pregnancy can lead to fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs), which can cause lifelong physical, behavioral, and intellectual disabilities.
👶 Low Birth Weight: Alcohol consumption during pregnancy is linked to low birth weight, premature birth, and developmental delays in babies.
💔 Miscarriage Risk: Alcohol consumption, especially in the first trimester, increases the risk of miscarriage.
