Description Objective: Bisphenols are one of the most widespread endocrine disruptors that the population of west world countries is exposed to. Objective of this study is to summarize information about influence of bisphenols on reproduction health. Design: Review article.

Methods: PubMed was searched for articles in English indexed bisphenol and reproduction up to October 2018. Results: Increased levels of bisphenol A and S have been proven in body fluids and tissues.
