The Impact of Eating Disorders on Reproductive Health: Mitigating the Risk.
Primary Care Companion to CNS Disorders 2023 August 32
Importance: While eating disorders (EDs) affect people of all ages, reproductive stages, and genders, they are most prevalent in women of reproductive age and can have a profound impact on fertility and obstetric outcomes. Due to the high prevalence and health consequences, EDs in this group of women require specific attention. Objective: To discuss the implications of EDs in infertility, pregnancy, and the postpartum period and to introduce tools to aid in identifying disordered eating and appropriate treatment recommendations for women with suspected EDs. Evidence Review: A comprehensive literature search was conducted of articles available on PubMed, last updated retrieval date March 27, 2023. Chain searching was used to identify other relevant articles. The following search terms were included: (pregnancy OR postpartum) AND (bulimia nervosa OR eating disorder OR anorexia nervosa OR binge eating disorder) AND (obstetric outcome OR infant outcome OR infant development OR depression OR anxiety); (fertility OR infertility) AND (bulimia nervosa OR eating disorder OR anorexia nervosa OR binge eating disorder OR weight suppression OR eating disorder not otherwise specified OR other specified feeding and eating disorder OR atypical anorexia nervosa OR binge eating OR low weight); and eating disorders AND PCOS. Articles pertinent to the impact of eating disorders on fertility and the impact of perinatal eating disorders on infant and mother were selected. Findings: Perinatal EDs impact maternal mental health and obstetric and infant outcomes. They can have a long-lasting effect on the offspring via epigenetic changes. EDs are also a common and treatable cause of infertility. Conclusions and Relevance : Recognition and treatment of EDs in women prior to conception can minimize obstetric risks to the woman and potential long-term adverse effects on the offspring. For women with infertility, recognition and treatment of EDs can increase the probability of conception. Prim Care Companion CNS Disord 2023;25(4):22nr03475 .
