Women with Asthma Could Face Delay in Becoming Pregnant

New research informs us that women with asthma could take a longer time to conceive a child. This is one of the more serious fertility experiments being done in a longer time, because it is known that approximately more than 35% of women have asthma, meaning that about a quarter of the female population on Earth could have troubles conceiving a child. In Bispebjerg University Hospital situated in Denmark, a questionnaire has been made and taken by 15,000 twins living in Denmark, all aged up to 41. The test subjects were all asked to answer questions about the presence of asthma in their organism, and this enabled a direct correlation between the two sisters who have the same genetic makeup. The researchers divided the women into categories, and then subdivided them further. They divided women who have asthma, from the ones who do not, and then further subdivided them into those being treated for asthma medically, and those not being treated. Every woman was asked for the amount of children she has, if she has any, and how long it took her to get pregnant.

In the end, it was noticed that the women all had similar amounts of children, but it took women who had asthma, and that were not treated for it, a much longer time. The women who were being treated for asthma had nearly the same time waiting for pregnancy like women who do not have asthma. This shows that asthma is a growing problem, and that a significant amount of women have this medical condition. It is proven that, when treated, women who have asthma can have children regularly, but women who are not treated need a longer time for pregnancy. Therefore, asthma treatments need to become even more common, especially for women who are at the peak of their reproductive life, since they can have children normally, and not wait for prolonged periods of time to get pregnant.

Therefore, ladies, if you ever suspect that you might have asthma, and have the symptoms, getting treated sooner than later will be beneficial to your fertility, so see doctor as soon as possible!
