    Environmental agents and occupational factors poorly impact hypothalamic, pituitary, and menstrual function. Research must include menstrual function as an outcome to understand reproductive health impacts.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Endocrinology
    • Environmental Health
    • Occupational Medicine

    Background:

    • The effects of environmental agents and occupational exposures on the hypothalamic-pituitary-menstrual axis are not well understood.
    • Existing research predominantly focuses on pregnancy outcomes, neglecting menstrual function as a key indicator of reproductive health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the critical need to investigate the impact of environmental and occupational factors on menstrual function.
    • To advocate for the inclusion of menstrual function as a primary outcome in reproductive health studies.

    Main Methods:

    • This study is a review and conceptual analysis of existing literature.
    • It synthesizes current knowledge gaps regarding environmental and occupational influences on reproductive health.

    Main Results:

    • Current research inadequately addresses the relationship between environmental/occupational factors and menstrual irregularities.
    • Menstrual function is a sensitive indicator of reproductive health that is often overlooked.

    Conclusions:

    • Menstrual function should be a central outcome variable in studies examining environmental and occupational exposures.
    • Further research is crucial to elucidate the mechanisms by which these factors affect reproductive health and establish protective guidelines.
