摘要
Little is known about substance use among women with infertility, yet substance use has implications for fertility and pregnancy. The purpose was to estimate the prevalence of substance use among women with infertility and examine whether substance use was associated with psychiatric symptoms, active attempts to conceive, and engagement in fertility treatments. Eligible patients were from a single healthcare system who received a female infertility diagnosis within the past 2 years. Participants (n = 188) completed an online questionnaire regarding substance use, psychiatric symptoms, attempts to conceive, and fertility treatments. The prevalence of hazardous alcohol use, any cannabis use, and hazardous cannabis use were 30.3%, 30.9%, and 8.5%, respectively. Hazardous alcohol use was not associated with psychiatric symptoms (p > .05). Those with any cannabis use were more likely to have higher depression scores than those without (p = .02). Those with hazardous cannabis use were more likely to have higher depression scores (p = .001) and higher anxiety scores (p = .03). Substance use was not associated with actively trying to conceive. Those pursuing fertility treatments had a lower percentage engaging in hazardous alcohol use compared to those not pursuing fertility treatments (19.0% vs. 36.3%, p = .02). Substance use among women with infertility is common. Hazardous cannabis use was associated with greater psychiatric symptoms, suggesting that cannabis may be used to cope with distress. Pursuing fertility treatments may serve as a protective factor for hazardous alcohol use. Clinicians treating patients with infertility may want to screen for substance use.
