Causes of Poor Oocyte Quality

Egg quality is affected by a woman’s age. As time goes by, both the quantity and quality of oocytes decrease, which negatively impacts female fertility. In addition to age, other possible causes of poor egg quality include:

• Endometriosis.
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
• Smoking and alcohol consumption.
• Poor diet.
• Oncological treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

For this reason, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, following a balanced diet, engaging in physical activity, etc., is beneficial for overall health and also for female fertility.
