Food ; Fertility: While not the most nutritious food to eat, fast foods should not increase the risk of fertility problems or uterine cysts. However, established fertility issues or uterine disease can be hormonally influenced by some foods, including ingredients such as caffeine. Living a lifestyle of moderation in all you do, including fast foods, exercise, etc. Is the best option to limit bad consequences.

Fertility;fast food: Women w/ polycystic ovaries [pcos] can experience fertility problems as well as hormonal issues (acne, hirsutism) ; Insulin resistance (weight problems, diabetes, elevated cholesterol), but eating fast food occasionally won't cause pcos. High carb fast foods may exacerbate diabetes assoc w/ pcos, but they won't cause fertility problems if pcos isn't present.
