Abstract

The aim of the study – to learn and analyze the factors that negatively affect the reproductive function of the ovaries.

Materials and Methods. General scientific research methods were used in the research: analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, analogy, abstraction and concretization, system analysis, formalization.

Results and Discussion. During the study, 43 sources of modern domestic and foreign literature on the causes of deterioration of ovarian reproductive function were analyzed.

Conclusions. Analysis of literature sources showed that the condition of the ovaries and ovarian reserve are negatively affected by various factors: anamnesis (genetic predisposition, complicated prenatal period, ovarian surgery, endometriosis, pelvic infections, somatic pathology), age, lifestyle (body mass index, alcohol and coffee consumption, smoking), harmful environmental factors (air pollutants, pesticides, radioactive agents).
