Abstract
In recent years, there are many studies focusing on the possible health threat posed by endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which are substances in our environment, household, food, occupation, and consumer products. EDCs interfere with hormone biosynthesis, metabolism, or action resulting in a deviation from normal homeostatic control or reproduction. Human exposure to environmental EDCs has received increased awareness due to their association with altered human health as documented by several epidemiological and experimental studies. EDCs are associated with deleterious effects on male and female reproductive health; cause diabetes, obesity, metabolic disorders, thyroid homeostasis, immune, and cardiovascular disorders, and increase the risk of hormone-sensitive cancers. This chapter deals with the effects of these EDCs on women reproductive health such as puberty, PCOS, breast cancer, endometriosis, uterine fibroid, infertility, and pregnancy complications.
