The Pat Moore Foundation, a California Drug Detox Treating Women with Cocaine Addiction

Online, September 3, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Orange County, CA, September 3, 2009 - With the advancement in technological research, it has become clear recently just what sort of damage women can do to their hormones and health while using cocaine.

Although cocaine does a great deal of damage in a number of ways to a woman's body and life, one of the recent discoveries is the harm to the endocrine system. The endocrine system, in simple terms is the method used to send various chemical stimuli through the body, such as; adrenaline and endorphins. In the case of women, their menstrual cycle is regulated by their reproductive hormones. Short and long term cocaine abuse will upset this balance leading to menstrual cycle disruptions and fertility problems down the road.

"When it comes to cocaine abuse women do find themselves experiencing irregular periods," says Phil Allen, CEO of the Pat Moore Foundation, a California drug detox in Costa Mesa. "Women can come to believe they cannot get pregnant at this time so, with impaired judgment and not thinking about future consequences, they tend to not use forms of birth control."

Unprotected sex can eventually lead to host of problems such as; unexpected pregnancy, unpredictable cycles, sexually transmitted diseases, and pelvic inflammatory disease. For women in the Orange County area finding a California drug detox like the Pat Moore Foundation that deals with women's issues of addiction can help them stop the damage to their bodies.
