Fertility & Chronic Health Conditions
Chronic health conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, and autoimmune diseases can impact fertility. Here are some ways chronic health conditions may affect fertility:
Hormonal imbalances
Chronic health conditions can cause imbalances in hormones such as insulin or thyroid hormones, which can impact fertility.
Impact on reproductive organs
Chronic health conditions can impact reproductive organs such as the ovaries or uterus, reducing the chances of conception.
Treatments and management
Treatments for chronic health conditions may involve medications to regulate hormones or manage symptoms, or surgery to repair or remove damaged reproductive organs.
By understanding the impact of chronic health conditions on fertility, individuals can work with their healthcare providers to manage their condition and increase their chances of conception.
