Aumatma Simmons: Lifestyle Counseling on Alcohol Is Critical in Fertility Treatment
Aumatma Simmons, Co-Founder, Chief Fertility Officer at Madre Fertility, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Alcohol consumption is a significant yet often underestimated factor in reproductive health, with clear evidence linking even light drinking to reduced fertility and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Key findings:
- Light to moderate alcohol intake increases time to conception and reduces live birth rates
- Alcohol disrupts hormone production, ovarian reserve, and menstrual regularity in women
- In men, alcohol lowers sperm quality, motility, and DNA integrity
- Alcohol use during pregnancy increases risk of miscarriage, birth defects, and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders
Clinical implications:
- Couples attempting conception should be counseled to abstain from alcohol to optimize fertility outcomes
- Alcohol cessation is a critical component of preconception care and fertility treatment protocols
- Support systems and behavioral interventions can facilitate successful lifestyle changes
Practical strategies:
- Set clear intentions and communicate with support networks
- Avoid high-risk environments and replace drinking with alternative activities
- Seek professional help for withdrawal symptoms or dependency
For healthcare practitioners: Are you routinely addressing alcohol use in preconception and fertility counseling? The research suggests that even light drinking can have measurable impacts on reproductive outcomes.
How are you supporting patients in making positive lifestyle changes for fertility?.”
