In a Healio video exclusive, Jodi Flaws, PhD discusses how exposure to phthalates found in plastics, cosmetics, and personal care items may be linked to reproductive aging symptoms in women. Flaws, a professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, explains that daily exposure to these chemicals can lead to early reproductive aging, including loss of ovarian follicles, abnormal hormone levels, increased risk of hot flashes, and infertility. She presented her findings at the ASRM Scientific Congress & Expo. The video provides more information on the impact of environmental endocrine disruptors on female reproductive aging.
