does matcha cause infertility - #26090

Arya

I am honestly a bit freaked out right now. I started drinking matcha a couple of months ago because I heard it’s super healthy and helps with energy and focus, and even weight loss. It became my morning ritual, which I thought was a good thing. However, a friend mentioned to me the other day that she read somewhere that matcha can be linked to infertility. Like, does matcha cause infertility?? I feel like I should've done more research before making it a daily habit. I’m in my early 30s and my partner and I have been talking about starting a family soon. I’m worried that this sudden love for matcha might be doing more harm than good. I’ve also been experiencing some weird symptoms—like my menstrual cycles have become a bit irregular recently. Could that be related to the matcha somehow? Or could it be stress or something else?? I feel all over the place. I really wanna know does matcha cause infertility or if that’s just a myth. Anyone else have any thoughts or experience? I mean, what if I've unknowingly put my reproductive health at risk?!

Doctors' responses

There is no solid evidence linking matcha to infertility. Matcha, which is a type of green tea, is generally safe and is even considered healthy due to its antioxidant content. The concerns you might have heard about are probably related to high caffeine intake which, in large amounts, could potentially affect fertility. However, the caffeine content in matcha is relatively moderate compared to coffee, and consuming it in reasonable amounts as part of a balanced diet shouldn’t pose a risk to your fertility. If your menstrual cycle has become irregular, it could indeed be influenced by various factors, including stress, changes in lifestyle, hormonal imbalances, or other underlying health conditions, rather than directly by matcha consumption. Stress is a common culprit for changes in menstrual patterns. If you’re concerned about any symptoms affecting your reproductive health, it might be a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider who can provide personalized advice and possibly undertake tests if necessary to rule out other causes. In the meantime, monitoring your caffeine intake would be beneficial, aiming for no more than 200-300 mg of caffeine per day, which is about 2-3 cups of tea, to maintain a precautionary approach. Keeping track of your menstrual cycle can also help provide more information to your healthcare provider. Make sure to maintain a balanced diet, manage stress as much as possible, and focus on overall lifestyle factors that contribute to health and well-being.
