Health Recommedation

Research indicates that lifestyle factors such as physical activity patterns, obesity, nutrition, and smoking can significantly impact laboratory test results and pregnancy outcomes associated with assisted fertility techniques.

​

A review of literature has led to the identification of 9 general categories concerning the relationship between assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes and lifestyle factors. These categories include weight management and diet, exercise and physical activity, psychological well-being, medication avoidance, alcohol and drug consumption, disease prevention, environmental health, spiritual well-being, social health, and physical health.

​

Given the importance and modifiability of lifestyle factors in fertility, the success of assisted fertility techniques can be greatly enhanced through the assessment of lifestyle patterns in infertile couples. Designing and implementing healthy lifestyle counseling programs before and during the utilization of assisted fertility techniques can prove beneficial.

Be Cautious

It's crucial to be mindful of medications and treatments, whether they are prescription, over-the-counter, herbal, or complementary, as they can impact fertility treatment outcomes and potentially cause birth defects. If you're undergoing any form of infertility treatment, including Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), your physician should review these medications, as some may interfere with treatment outcomes. Additionally, it's essential to be aware of drugs and medications that are not advisable during pregnancy, as they may cause birth defects or pregnancy complications. Your physician can provide guidance on which medications can be used in moderation or with increased supervision.

​

Exposure to environmental and workplace hazards should also be considered. These hazards may include products such as pesticides, solvents, and certain prescription medicines that you handle or come into contact with. This exposure can be particularly concerning during the first trimester of pregnancy if conception occurs. It's important to be cautious of environmental exposures, including clothing or equipment used by household members in their work or hobbies, as they can pose risks to pregnancy.
