How Stress Impacts Female Fertility

Chronic Stress Effect- Chronic stress can disrupt the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, leading to hormonal imbalances that adversely affect ovulation and fertility

Elevated Stress Effect- Elevated stress levels are linked to reduced antral follicle count and anti-Müllerian hormone levels, indicating diminished ovarian reserve

Psychological Stress Effect- Psychological stress may impair oocyte quality and early embryonic development, potentially reducing reproductive success rates

Stress-induced Oxidative Stress- Stress-induced oxidative stress can lead to granulosa cell apoptosis, decreasing estradiol production and compromising oocyte maturation

High Perceived Stress- High perceived stress correlates with lower pregnancy rates in women undergoing fertility treatments, suggesting stress management may improve outcomes
