Girl, Disrupted: Hormone Disruptors and Women’s Reproductive Health (January 2009)
A Report on the Women's Reproductive Health and the Environment Workshop
Written by Julia Barrett, Shelby Gonzalez, Heather Saranties MS and Julia Varshavsky
Produced by the Collaborative on Health and the Environment (CHE)
Chemicals can impact female reprodcutive healthy by interfering with hormones that regulate reproductive system development.
A woman’s body goes through a wide range of changes throughout her lifetime. Each stage of her life, from fetal development through her post-menopause years, involves a direct relationship between her hormones and how her body develops and functions. When this relationship is in balance, it helps create the conditions for good health. When this relationship is out of balance, it can lead to a range of health problems that can be painful and devastating.
