Will Obesity Leads to Infertility?


It is a known fact that obesity will cause many chronic diseases and sometimes can leads to death also. But nowadays a new question has arrived that will it lead to infertility? Yes!! It also affects fertility. Both men and women have the same risk. In women, the menstrual cycle is regulated by a fine hormonal balance. In the case of overweight and obese women have higher levels of a hormone called leptin, which is produced in fatty tissue. This leptin can disrupt the hormone balance and lead to reduced fertility.

This disruption may lead to irregular menstrual cycles, which in turn reduces fertility. Studies have proven that women with overweight cannot conceive within one year of stopping contraception but in cause women with normal weight range will not have any such problems. Such changes in the menstrual cycle generated by excess weight and obesity also increase the risk of anovulation (when no egg is released by the ovaries).

Many women can ovulate, even with excess weight this will affect the quality of the eggs they produce will be reduced. Women with BMI of 35, the likelihood of getting pregnant within a year is 26% lower, and for a woman with a BMI of 40, it is 43% lower compared with women with a BMI between 21 and 29.

In men, obesity is also associated with lower fertility. The factors of infertility in men are a bit similar to women. These include hormone problems, sexual dysfunction and other health problems which are linked with obesity such as type 2 diabetes and sleep apnea which are both associated with lowered testosterone levels and erectile problems.

The facts about obesity and fertility can seem to be scary, but there is good news too. Intervention in weight-loss such as both diet and exercise can promote menstrual cycle regularity and improve the chance of pregnancy. Even a modest weight loss of 5-10% in obese women can improve fertility and the chance of conceiving.
