Abstract

The journey from conception to birth is a marvel of nature, an intricate dance of cells and processes that results in the creation of a new life. However, this journey is not without its challenges, and one of the most significant concerns is the potential impact of teratogenic factors on reproductive health. Teratogens are substances or agents that, when encountered during pregnancy, can cause birth defects or other developmental problems in the unborn child. Safeguarding reproductive health and ensuring a safe environment for pregnancy is vital to protect the well-being of both mothers and their babies. Chemical exposures, including medications, illicit drugs, and environmental pollutants, pose significant threats, emphasizing the need for informed decision-making and healthcare guidance. Infections, such as rubella and sexually transmitted infections highlight the importance of preventive measures and early intervention. Radiation, maternal health conditions, genetic factors, and occupational exposures further contribute to the complex landscape of teratogenic risks. Safeguarding reproductive health involves a comprehensive approach, encompassing preconception care, prenatal education, and public awareness campaigns. This abstract underscores the urgency of understanding, communicating, and mitigating teratogenic risks to promote the well-being of future generations.
