A Narrative Review on the Impact of Smoking on Female Fertility.

Understanding the significant impact of preventable factors, such as lifestyle decisions and bad habits like smoking, on female fertility has received a lot of attention. Pervasive smoking among fertile women is a serious public health concern. Smoking has well-documented negative impacts on general health, but it also has significant consequences on fertility. Many women of reproductive age still smoke, despite a wealth of data elucidating the effects of pregnancy and the health of the fetus as a result of prenatal exposure. This review attempts to investigate the consequences of smoking on female fertility, specifically focusing on how it affects the ovaries, oviducts, and uterus through a thorough examination of numerous studies. Important topics such as ovarian reserve, steroidogenesis, ovulation, controlling the menstrual cycle, oviductal function, uterine receptivity, and implantation will receive extra focus.
