She stressed that regular alcohol consumption reduces fertility, and nicotine accelerates ovarian exhaustion.

To do this, it is recommended to undergo a basic examination.

For a woman, it includes testing for hormones, TORCH infections, a general blood test, ferritin, vitamin D, femoflor, as well as ultrasound of the pelvic organs and mammary glands. For men, a spermogram, a MAR test, as well as tests for sexually transmitted infections.
