In new study researchers found that women who have common blood group could twice likely to suffer from fertility problems. It was found that women who have blood group O are at greater risk of running out of healthy eggs and they could have problems of conceiving in the middle age.
The burst through could escort to women supporting their decision on whether to chase a career or start a family on their blood type. Approximately forty-four percent people have blood group O, remaining forty-two percent people have blood group A and fourteen percent have group AB.
Several women do not know their blood group and they come to know only when they give blood for tests during pregnancy. The size of a woman’s ovarian reserve steadily cascades all through her life. The newborn baby girl has two millions eggs, by the age of puberty it has reduced to four lakh.
On reaching at the age of forty women left with few hundreds of eggs. The research team from Yale University and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York examined the blood group of more than five hundred women who were under the age of forty-five and were undergoing fertility treatment.
The level of FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) which is a chemical in the blood is compared. If it is high, signifying a woman has a poor reserve. When FSH levels are higher than ten proposes a woman will have difficulty in conceiving. With blood type O were twice as likely to have FSH levels above ten.
Women who have FSH levels greater than twenty are considered infertile. In near future women could make choice on when to start a family based on their blood group. Blood group is verified by the make-up of certain proteins on the surface of the blood called antigens. Those with blood type O lack the A antigen.
They found that women with blood group A and AB and women with the A blood group gene were protected from lessen ovarian reserve. Patients with blood type O looking for infertility evaluation have a higher likelihood to be diagnosed with elevated FSH and hence manifest diminished ovarian reserve, explained Dr Edward Nejat from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
Women with blood type O are deficient the A or B antigen. People with blood type A or AB are more prone to suffer heart disease and strokes. While those with type O are more at risk from arthritis and certain stomach infections such as E-coli.
