Reproductive Health

Combining multiple health surveys in a meta-analysis, Duke Appiah, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas, USA, has produced interesting insights for the duration of a woman’s reproductive span. Lifestyle factors were analysed to show associations with the date women reach natural menopause.

Domminating the statistics for infertility in women, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of this condition, with onset as a result of imbalanced reproductive hormones. Emerging evidence suggests a co-interaction of PCOS with infectious disease.
