10 Obesity Fertility Problems Women Face
Obese people face a lot of health problems. They are more prone to heart diseases, high blood pressure and fluctuating glucose levels in their body. Obese people get tired very soon and have no energy for the simplest of tasks.
Women suffering from obesity also face fertility problems. Infertility is an effect of obesity on fertility and pregnancy that most obese women suffer from. Infertility is the inability to reproduce even with assisted reproductive technologies.
GETTING TUBES TIED: PROS & CONS
This can be the underlying instinct, which makes men prefer thin women compared to fat women. The effect of obesity on fertility and pregnancy is numerous. Here we discuss a few of these problems for a woman who is obese to get pregnant.
Fertilisation defects: It is very difficult for a woman who is obese to get pregnant since the fat accumulated around the abdominal area of the body make it difficult for proper fertilisation of the egg by a healthy sperm.
Menstrual cycle: For a woman who is obese to get pregnant, her menstrual cycle needs to be regular. But, most obese women have an irregular menstrual cycle and that makes it difficult to predict when they will be fertile.
Ovulation problems: Before it was thought that it was sufficient for an obese woman to have her ovulation proper and on time. But, recent study has shown that this is not enough in the case of obesity.
Risk of miscarriage: The effect of obesity on fertility and pregnancy include an increased risk of miscarriage. The extra fat around the uterus will press against the growing foetus and will cause problems in its nutrition also.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome: Polycystic ovarian syndrome is an effect of obesity on fertility and pregnancy. It is a hormonal imbalance and will disrupt the normal menstrual cycle and ovulation, thereby causing infertility.
Oversupply of oestrogen: Even though oestrogen is a female hormone necessary in conceiving and giving birth to a child, over supply of this can cause increase in androgen levels and is an effect of obesity on fertility and pregnancy.
Androgen levels: Increase in androgen level causes a condition known as hyperandrogenism and is an effect of obesity on fertility and pregnancy. It causes the disruption of the ovarian cycle in a woman’s monthly period.
Decreased success in fertility treatments: Another effect of obesity on fertility and pregnancy is the decreased success rate in fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization and other assisted reproductive technologies.
Difficulty in conceiving: The fat surrounding the uterus and ovary make it difficult for obese women to conceive and give birth to children. Infertility problems are faced even by women who have a normal ovulation cycle if they happen to be overweight.
Resistance to leptin: Leptin is a protein present in the body that helps to regulate body weight and infertility. But, an effect of obesity on fertility and pregnancy is that it renders the leptin protein useless leading to fertility problems.
