Study links prenatal acetaminophen use to reproductive organ changes in girls.
A study published in Human Reproduction Open found that girls exposed to acetaminophen in the womb had smaller ovarian and uterine volumes and fewer ovarian follicles. Study authors and ACOG emphasized the findings do not establish causation and that acetaminophen remains the recommended safe option during pregnancy when needed. The study enrolled 685 pregnant women in Denmark and evaluated 302 baby girls at 3 months old.
