Plastic Chemical Linked Menstrual Disorders

Research that revealed the adverse effects of chemicals bisphenol A (BPA) in plastics continue to emerge. Most recently, BPA is thought to cause menstrual disorders due to hormonal abnormality known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

In this syndrome the female body produces male hormones (androgens) excessively so that more face-haired and pimply. Women with this syndrome also experience menstrual disorders, and even stopped altogether.

In women with PCOS syndrome, found levels of chemicals with high levels of BPA in their blood. Previous studies showed that male mice exposed to BPA in the womb and suckle with plastic bottles containing BPA will experience a disruption of the testes.

Results were further increasing the length of the adverse effects of chemicals on BPA. BPA itself can be found in many plastic products, including baby bottles and food packaging. Bottles with BPA content is usually marked with the number 7 inside the recycling symbol.

Hormonal active substances such as natural hormones CPA working as an anti-estrogen and androgen. In fact, in small quantities, BPA can affect the sexual development, such as early puberty.

Research on the safety of BPA continued. In January 2010, the Food and Drug Administration and other U.S. health agencies poured funds up to 30 million U.S. dollars to conduct short-and long-term research to clarify the impact of BPA on human health.

The current data is new comes from experiments on animals in laboratories, which showed the emergence of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, hyperactivity, and sexual dysfunction after the animals were exposed to BPA in the long term.

In the research by a team from the University of Athens Medical School, compared with BPA levels in blood were 71 women who have PCOS syndrome with 100 healthy women.

BPA levels in the blood in women who suffer from PCOS were 60 percent higher than in healthy women. BPA levels are also known to 30 percent higher in obese women with PCOS syndrome. The higher levels of BPA, the higher the level of male hormones.
