Understanding the Link Between Weight and Conception
For many couples, starting a family is a cherished dream. However, various factors can influence fertility, and obesity is one significant contributor, particularly for women.
How Does Obesity Impact Fertility?
Obesity can disrupt the delicate balance of hormones that regulate ovulation and menstruation.
Here’s how:
- Hormonal Imbalances: Excess body fat can lead to increased estrogen production, which can interfere with ovulation.
- Insulin Resistance: Obesity often coincides with insulin resistance, a condition where the body becomes less responsive to insulin. This can further disrupt hormone production and ovulation.
- Inflammation: Chronic low-grade inflammation, common in obesity, can negatively impact the reproductive system.
- Ovulatory Dysfunction: Irregular or absent ovulation is a common consequence of obesity, making conception difficult.
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Obesity is a risk factor for PCOS, a hormonal disorder that significantly impacts fertility.
