Obesity and infertility

One of the consequences of obesity is infertility. Obesity has been linked to several reproductive health problems, including irregular menstrual cycles, hormonal imbalances and infertility.

The link between Obesity and Infertility Obesity has a direct impact on the reproductive system of both men and women.

In women, obesity can lead to menstrual irregularities, hormonal imbalances, and anovulation, which is the inability to ovulate. Ovulation is essential for conception to occur. When a woman does not ovulate, it becomes difficult for her to get pregnant.

In addition, obesity also increases the risk of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition that can further interfere with fertility. Obesity can also increase the risk of pregnancy complications such as miscarriage and preterm delivery.

In men, obesity can lead to a reduction in testosterone levels, which can decrease sperm quality and quantity. This makes it more difficult for women to conceive.
