Study Finds Widespread Microplastics in Reproductive Fluids, What It Means for Fertility

Description

  • Microplastics have been detected in both male and female reproductive fluids, confirming that these synthetic particles are reaching the most sensitive areas of the human body
  • Researchers found nine different types of microplastics, including materials from clothing fibers, cookware, packaging, and household products
  • These particles enter your body through the air you breathe, the water you drink, the food you eat, and skin contact, making exposure nearly unavoidable without targeted changes
  • Certain natural binders, probiotics, and liver-support compounds are being studied for their ability to trap and remove microplastics before they cause further harm
  • Simple lifestyle upgrades — like switching to natural fabrics, improving air and water filtration, not using plastic containers for food storage, and replacing plastic kitchen tools — lower your daily microplastic intake and protect reproductive health
