Alcoholism in women and Childbearing
August 22, 2008
Alcoholism in women is proved to be associated with deferred childbearing in women. There was a comparison done between women and men consuming alcohol. Their lifetime history of alcohol consumption and their age when they had their first child was estimated .The analyzed results showed that alcoholic women had delayed onset of childbearing, but men were free from effect of alcoholism. This is for the first time such a survey is done to examine alcohol effect on the reproductive onset.
Previous researches had investigated risks to teens or adults but not both men and women. The researchers said the aim of the finding is to highlight the risk associated with alcohol dependence in women which is not known. It is a valuable finding as the rate of alcohol misuse by women and particularly young women is widely increasing.
Alcohol dependence for long can lead to reproductive malfunctioning for both teen and adult females.
Reproductive dysfunctions can cause menstrual disorders, sexual problems and pregnancy complications such as abortion or miscarriage. Teenagers can have trouble in their menstrual cycle as well as unplanned pregnancies due to alcohol consumption, the researchers said.
The alcohol dependence has more reproductive influence on women as compared to men because women attain higher blood alcohol concentrations than men while consuming similar amounts of alcohol, studies have found. Young females consuming alcohol may have to bear longer-term consequences of drinking habit. If dependence continues or increases to higher levels, their ability to have children may be impaired.
Some of the Distinguished Professor in the department of clinical neuroscience at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine & Health Sciences warned that the women who are already suffering from fertility and reproductive problems should quit alcohol because alcohol consumption would worsen the reproductive problem.
