Preface

As a researcher in the field of reproductive biology, I have a keen interest in understanding the complex relationship between antibiotics and reproductive health. Antibiotics have revolutionized the treatment of bacterial infections, but their use can have unintended consequences for reproductive health. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the potential impact of antibiotics on fertility, pregnancy, and breastfeeding, as well as alternative treatment options. In writing this book, my goal is to provide a resource that brings together the latest research on antibiotics and reproductive health and helps to promote responsible antibiotic use and stewardship. I will cover the basics of antibiotics and how they work, as well as the specific ways in which antibiotics can impact reproductive health. I will explore common reproductive infections that are typically treated with antibiotics and alternative treatment options. I would like to thank the researchers and healthcare professionals who have dedicated their careers to studying antibiotics and reproductive health, as well as the patients who have shared their experiences and insights.

Without their contributions, this book would not have been possible.
