A brand new research reveals that PTSD and nervousness could negatively influence the reproductive well being of ladies firefighters.
The analysis, printed within the Journal of Girls’s Well being, reveals these psychological well being situations are linked to lowered ranges of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), a marker of ovarian reserve.
Key findings embrace a 66% discount in AMH ranges amongst ladies firefighters identified with PTSD and a 33% discount for these with nervousness. AMH ranges are essential in figuring out a lady’s fertility and potential to conceive.
The research, performed by the College of Arizona Mel and Enid Zuckerman Faculty of Public Well being, is a part of the Fireplace Fighter Most cancers Cohort Research’s Girls Firefighter Research, which investigates stress, most cancers, and reproductive well being points in ladies firefighters.
