According to a report by South Korean media NEWS on April 29th, a recent study has shown that e-cigarettes may lower the chances of women becoming pregnant, similar to traditional cigarettes. The British women's health professional company "Heertility" collected and studied blood samples from 8340 women of various ages, and found that women who use either traditional cigarettes or e-cigarettes have lower levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH).
Anti-Müllerian hormone is a marker used to assess ovarian reserve, indicating how many egg cells are stored in the ovaries and how many ovulations they can produce. It is also used to assess the likelihood of pregnancy. Specifically, women aged 36 to 40 who smoke have been found to have anti-Müllerian hormone levels around 20% lower than non-smokers of the same age.
The lead researcher of the study, Dr. Helen O'Neill, a lecturer in molecular genetics at University College London and founder of "Heterty," emphasized that in order to increase the likelihood of pregnancy, all potential obstacles should be avoided, including drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. She further emphasized that "it's not just about reducing the amount or frequency, completely quitting these bad habits is necessary to increase the chances of pregnancy."
However, even though e-cigarettes have less impact on health compared to traditional cigarettes, it does not necessarily mean that e-cigarettes can be used as a means to quit smoking. Recent research results have shown that e-cigarette users have a higher risk of heart disease compared to non-smokers.
