Alcohol is one of those reasons that can seriously affect the health of the unborn child. Many people underestimated or did not even think that drinking alcohol could have destructive consequences for the fetus, especially in the early stages of pregnancy. The chief narcologist of the Russian Ministry of Health Evgeny Brun notes that many expectant mothers and dads still do not know about the dangers of alcohol for the health of the child, even despite the presence of many scientific evidence.

Alcoholic fetal syndrome (FAS) was first described more than two hundred years ago and includes a whole range of disorders that arise in children whose mothers consumed alcohol during pregnancy. This syndrome is divided into three main categories: growth deficiency, brain anomalies and distortion of appearance. It is important to note that alcohol can cause not only physical defects, but also intellectual disorders, such as problems with memory, hearing and vision. These deviations can greatly affect the development of the child throughout life.

These consequences are not limited only by women. Men should also be attentive to their health and not abuse alcohol, especially if you plan to conception. It is known that alcohol has a negative effect on the male reproductive system, reducing the potency and quality of sperm. This means that excessive drinking of alcohol can lead to problems with conception and reduce the chances of a successful and healthy conception.

The harm of alcohol for health is not limited only to effect on the fetus. He can significantly worsen the health of the future mother, influence her hormonal background and cause various complications. Alcohol can cause miscarriages, premature births or problems in the postpartum period. Therefore, it is so important to remember the risks associated with the use of alcohol at any stage of pregnancy.

At the stage of preparation for conception, one should also take into account the possible consequences for health. Problems with the reproductive system and the health of the unborn child can be associated with the wrong lifestyle, including alcohol use.

It is important to start taking care of your health long before a decision is made to conception in order to minimize risks and provide optimal conditions for the development of the fetus.

Summing up, we can say that alcohol has a destructive effect on health, especially on the health of the unborn child. Understanding these risks and the adoption of a responsible approach to their health will help create the best conditions for conception and bearing a healthy baby.
