Résumé
Disordered eating and subthreshold eating disorders can affect fertility. A negative cumulative energy balance that occurs through inadequate nutrition and excessive exercise is often found in individuals engaging in disordered eating behaviors; these disruptions can affect the normal functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and, thus, fertility. Appropriate screening; assessment; and medical, nutritional, and psychosocial interventions are needed to successfully treat these individuals. Educating nurses about the impact of disordered eating on fertility status will enable those who work with clients of reproductive age to better recognize signs and symptoms of disordered eating and to ultimately provide better care. This article addresses how to appropriately recognize and treat individuals presenting with infertility and disordered eating symptomatology.
