Long term outcomes of increasing environmental pollution via air, water and food include cancer, congenital birth defects in baby, adverse pregnancy outcomes, infertility.

So what can you do?

1) Get yourself screened for cancer (paps smear, breast cancer screening)
2) Annual medical check-up
3) Start your family early. Don't wait too long after your marriage to start your family
4) Discuss about methods of contraception with your gynaecologist and choose one, rather than going for abortions for unwanted pregnancy.
5) Regular consultation with your gynaecologist during your pregnancy.

In case you have a concern or query you can always consult a specialist & get answers to your questions!
