Female alcohol consumption and fecundability: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis.
Women who are frequent consumers of alcohol may experience a decrease in fertility at a faster rate than their counterparts who are non-consumers of alcoholic beverages.
Fecundability is the probability of getting pregnant in a single menstrual cycle. This study investigated the association between alcohol intake and fertility in females. A group of Chinese scientists conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis on data extracted from nineteen studies (19) with a total study population of 98,657 women.
The team of experts observed that alcohol consumption was associated with decreased fertility in women in the study population. The findings of this study suggest that regular drinking of alcohol may lead to a decline in fertility in women.
