Aspirin leads to infertility offspring

Pregnant women should not get involved with aspirin, if they do not want to make their future sons fruitless. To such conclusion the British researchers.

Scientists from the University of Sheffield say that women taking during pregnancy such painkillers As paracetamol, aspirin and ibuprofen, risk fertility of their sons. Prolonged exposure to these drugs can damage the development of the sexual organs of boys.

About half of women during pregnancy   actively use painkillers   (most often because of severe headaches). However, the uncontrolled use of these drugs, as well as the reception of several different pills can increase the risk of a child born with nedoopustivshimisya the testicles that can lead to low sperm quality and testicular cancer in later years.

Employing during pregnancy simultaneously more than one species painkillers   women increase this risk to their sons in seven (!) times. It is especially dangerous to take these drugs at a stage of pregnancy from four to six months. Acceptance of one type of analgesic doubles the risk compared to those pregnant women who do not take the tablets.

And for different products and different risks. If paracetamol increases the risk twice the ibuprofen or aspirin - is quadrupled. And the use of two different painkillers   a period of four to six months increases the risk 16-fold.
