  "textContent": "Medical specialists are warning that vaping may cause serious hormonal disturbances, disrupt thyroid function, reduce fertility, and increase the risk of metabolic disease.\nElectronic cigarettes can interfere with the body's endocrine system even after relatively short-term use, Maria Matveeva, an endocrinologist and professor at the Department of Recreational Medicine and Sanatorium Treatment said.\nChemical compounds contained in vaping liquids can disrupt the synthesis of thyroid hormones, trigger autoimmune reactions, reduce testosterone levels in men, and contribute to secondary infertility.\n\nAccording to the specialist, women who vape may also face reduced ovarian reserve and declining fertility, making it more difficult both to conceive and to carry a healthy pregnancy to term.",
