Resumen

Objetivo principal: Revisar la relación entre la exposición a ciertos disruptores endocrinos ambientales y los resultados reproductivos femeninos. Metodología: Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica con el fin de conocer la evidencia científica disponible a cerca de la relación entre la exposición a ciertos EDC ambientales y los resultados reproductivos femeninos. Resultados principales: La literatura muestra que varios productos químicos tienen capacidades de disrupción endocrina en las mujeres durante la vida adulta, causando anormalidades de fertilidad. Se han revisado un total de 32 documentos. Conclusión principal: Las personas estamos expuestas a EDC ambientales a diario debido a su presencia ubicua en el medio ambiente en general, así como a su uso en una amplia variedad de productos de consumo. En general, la evidencia científica disponible en la actualidad demuestra que la exposición de adultos a ciertos químicos puede estar asociado con efectos nocivos en la fertilidad femenina.

Abstract

Objective: To review the relationship between exposure to certain environmental endocrine disruptors and female reproductive outcomes. Methods: A bibliographic search was carried out in order to know the available scientific evidence about the relationship between exposure to certain environmental EDCs and female reproductive results. Results: The literature shows that various chemical products have endocrine disruption capacities in women during adult life, causing fertility abnormalities. A total of 32 documents have been reviewed. Conclusions: People are exposed to environmental DEC on a daily basis due to its ubiquitous presence in the general environment, as well as its use in a wide variety of consumer products. Overall, the currently available scientific evidence shows that adult exposure to certain chemicals may be associated with adverse effects on female fertility.
