Abstract :
This study examines the effect of alpha particles radioactive exposure on pregnancy hormones such as luteinizing
hormones (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), hormone chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), progesterone and
estradiol, in order to investigate the prevalence of infertility. Done Hormonal analysis of the women blood samples
and irradiated by radium source after then carried out the hormone testing. This disparity supports the hypothesis
that the magnitude of changes in pregnancy hormonesconcentration is indicative of the effect of radiation on the
human tissues.To ascertain the level of ovarian reserve, the FSHlevel was measured, since it correlates inversely
with the number of eggs present in ovaries. High levels of FSH were observed in women with low ovarianreserve.
Significant differences were found before and afterradiation. For LH (p < 0.001), HCG (p < 0.001), and estradiol
(p < 0.001), the levels of these hormones significantly reduced after radiation, while elevation observed for
progesterone (p < 0.003), FSH (p < 0.003). This study concluded that FSH is significantly increased by irradiation
which subsequently leads to impaired fertility.
