Infertile women have a higher risk of death, according to the study

New research shows that women with a history of infertility have a 10% higher risk of death from breast cancer and diabetes than women without reproductive problems.

At the same time, many studies have also shown that infertility does not increase the risk of ovarian or endometrial cancer, but the results suggest that infertile women are at risk of dying from breast cancer is 44 %

In addition, infertile women are 70% more likely to die from diabetes, although women with and without infertility have similar rates of diabetes.

Lead author Natalie Stentz, a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania said: "It is possible that this condition is the first sign of endocrine disorder or inflammation caused over time, leading to long-term health problems such as Malignant or diabetic cancer '.

These results are presented at the annual American Reproductive Biology Conference in Texas.

In the study, the research team examined 78,214 women between 1992 and 2001, of which infertility was reported in 14.5% of the total population studied.

Stentz said: "This study also raises important questions about the long-term effects of infertility and whether it is pure infertility or a basic condition that leads to many other medical conditions. half?' .
