Will vegetarianism lead to female infertility?

Female infertility is a disease. What causes female infertility? Will vegetarianism lead to female infertility? Many women choose to diet or eat only vegetables in order to lose weight. Therefore, there is a saying that "long-term vegetarianism, and eat less, so thin, no body oil, so lead to irregular menstruation, resulting in infertility." This vegetarian on the theory of female infertility caused by the science? Or start with infertility first.

What is infertility?

Medically defined as infertility, two years of non-pregnant women who have a normal sexual life and have not taken contraceptive measures for cohabitation. There are many factors that cause female infertility, such as uterine malformation, unobstructed fallopian tubes, cervical mucus abnormalities, and congenital ovarian dysplasia. Among these factors, it is the endocrine factor that can be associated with "vegetarian". When it comes to women's endocrine, they have to say estrogen.

Estrogen is important for women

Estrogen plays a very important role in women's life. It maintains the female's secondary sexual characteristics. It brings us our dear aunt and maintains her cycle. Its decline makes women in menopause wonder. ... And for women who want to be pregnant, estrogen is even more essential. On the one hand, it makes the cervical mucus thin, making it easier for the sperm to pass through. On the other hand, it strengthens the fallopian tube's peristalsis, sends the egg to meet the sperm, and sends it to the uterus after the two are combined. In the womb, estrogen is not idle. It promotes proliferation and repair of the endometrium and provides a fertile ground for the growth of the embryo. This shows that for women, estrogen can be a really good person.

The level of estrogen in the body needs to be maintained. In addition to requiring the genital organs to perform normal physiological functions, it is also related to the supply of nutrients. If the intake of protein and lipids is not sufficient, cholesterol levels in the body will be reduced, and cholesterol is the raw material for the synthesis of all steroid hormones in the body. As a result, the level of estrogen will be insufficient.

Vegetarianism is at Risk

Vegetarian foods generally fall into two categories. One is “egg-egg vegetarian food”, which means that only meat and animal products that do not eat animals are used. Eggs and milk are still eaten normally. Whether in the West or the East, such vegetarians account for the vast majority. The other category is "Strictly Vegetarian". All animal-derived foods cannot be eaten, including milk and eggs. Eggs and milk are good sources of protein, and can provide abundant calcium and relatively poor fat-soluble vitamins in fruits and vegetables, so the quality of diet of egg and vegetarian diets can be equal to those of ordinary meat eaters. . For vegans, sufficient protein can be obtained from beans and soy products. Nuts and green leafy vegetables also provide adequate calcium and partially fat-soluble vitamins for egg milk. Vitamin B12, which is not present in pure plant foods, can be obtained from fermented foods or fungi. It seems that vegetarianism does not seem to bring any health problems.

Vegetarian does not affect health, but it is only ideal

Unfortunately, the above situation is only ideal. In the absence of scientific dietary guidance, it is still difficult for vegetarians to achieve a complete nutritional balance. In addition, some women may lose weight due to weight loss, or short-term weight loss may lead to females. Insufficient hormone levels, menstrual disorders or amenorrhea, ovaries do not ovulate, cervical mucus is not so thin, the chance of conception may indeed decline. At the same time, vegan dieters are more prone to calcium deficiency, iron and vitamin B12 problems. On the one hand, vegan dieters themselves increase the risk of osteoporosis, iron deficiency anemia, megaloblastic anemia and other diseases. On the one hand as a pregnant woman is also not conducive to the growth and development of the fetus.

Regarding the relationship between vegetarianism and infertility, there was a study report from the University of Munich, Germany. In the 6-week dietary control experiment, the weight of the 18 young girls participating in the experiment was reduced by 1 kg per week, and 7 of the 9 girls in the vegetarian group did not ovulate, and all had menstrual cycle shortening, and decreased estrogen and progesterone levels. The phenomenon is that 7 out of 9 girls in the non-vegetarian group are normal. Although the meal schedule for this experiment does not represent all vegetarians, the number of samples for the experiment was also low, but at least people who suggested that we chose to have a vegetarian diet did have the possibility of changes in hormone levels due to diet.

It is worth noting that although vegetarians have a single diet, they are more likely than normal people to have estrogen disorders and affect conception. However, it is rare for people who are infertile because of vegetarianism. For infertile vegans, besides considering the factors of diet, we should also pay attention to other conditions, such as congenital defects, such as inflammation of the reproductive system, and some patients themselves are older, ovarian function has begun to decline, and its Fertility desires are urgent, and the resulting mental factors such as anxiety and tension are also the causes of infertility.

Conclusion: Rumors are partially confirmed. Although vegetarianism is not an indispensable factor leading to infertility, vegetarian diets are prone to insufficient intake of protein and lipids, resulting in inadequate estrogen in the body and affecting conception. Vegetarians should pay attention to arranging diets scientifically and avoid imbalances in nutritional intake. For infertile people, there are many factors that need to be considered. It is best to seek professional help in a regular hospital.
