Abstract
Long-term health outcomes after ART have largely focused on offspring health and perinatal parameters. Longer-term health outcomes in female patients remain difficult to fully assess. Hypothetical concerns about the effects of endocrine manipulation on hormone-sensitive conditions, e.g. breast disease, are confounded by variable factors in patients and treatments. Obstetric and perinatal factors endow an additional layer of complexity to the overall analysis and more research is required to appreciate all aspects of ART. Notwithstanding the knowledge gap, clinicians must endeavour to individualise management plans, taking into account the pros and cons of ART in the context of immediate, maternity-related and long-term health risks for their patients.This review of recent literature examines current ART practice in terms of female health and disease as we strive for best practice in an ever-changing clinical and demographic fertility landscape.
