Tobacco and gynecological disorders
Smoking decreases the secretion of estrogen. It may therefore be responsible for menstrual disorders, irregularities and pain. There is also often a change of tone of voice, which becomes hoarse, and an increase in superfluous hair. Menopause occurs 1 to 2 years earlier than average. Hot flashes are more intense and the risk of osteoporosis is increased. Tobacco also promotes the development of precancerous lesions of the cervix.
