摘要：Introduction. Infertility is defined as a state when a couple fails to conceive a pregnancy after one year of regular intercoursewithout the use of contraception. Alcohol consumption is one of the main stimulants which negatively affect the femaleand male reproductive system.Objective. The objective of the study was analysis of the effect of alcohol consumption by the examined women on thequality of embryos obtained during in vitro fertilization programmes.Material and methods. The study covered 54 women who received treatment due to infertility. The database and statisticalanalyses were performed using computer software STATISTICA 7.1 (StatSoft, Poland).Results. The study showed that 42.59% from among 100% of the women in the study consumed alcohol. In the group ofwomen who consumed alcohol, class A embryos constituted 4.35%, class B embryos – 86.96%, while embryos of class C –8.69%. A statistically significant difference was observed between the classes of embryos and alcohol consumption by thewomen examined (p=0.001). In addition, a statistically significant relationship was found between the amount of alcoholconsumed and the classes of embryos (p=0.005). A significantly larger number of class B embryos came from women whoconsumed more than 25 grams of ethyl alcohol daily (72.72%), compared to those who consumed alcohol sporadically(44.44%), or those who abstained entirely from alcohol (30.00%).Conclusions. Alcohol consumption causes the development of poorer quality embryos. Significantly more embryos ofclass B came from oocytes of women who consumed alcohol, compared to class A. An active campaign against alcoholconsumption should be carried out among women at reproductive age to safeguard their fertility and future motherhood.
