Have high cholesterol? Both men and women may have difficulty conceiving

Have high cholesterol? Both men and women may have difficulty conceiving

 

 

A new study finds a couple may have difficulty conceiving a child if both the man and woman have high cholesterol levels.

 

 

 

 

The study, which was published today in JCEM, The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, also found that if only the woman has high cholesterol, the couple may still have difficulty having a child, compared to couple with both a man and woman with cholesterol levels in normal range.

 

 

 

 

The authors of the study suggest that cholesterol levels may impact fertility because the body uses the substance to regulate sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen.
