Fertility

Breast cancer survivors of childbearing age appeared considerably less likely than women in the general population to become pregnant, according to study results presented at the virtual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.

Mothers who smoked during pregnancy had daughters who showed signs of increased testosterone exposure, which could result in long-term reproductive health problems, according to findings presented at the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology Meeting.

Women with inflammatory bowel disease have an increased time to pregnancy, which indicates reduced fertility among that population, according to study results.
