Revealed: Five major harms of obesity in women!

Early puberty in girls is related to obesity. Studies have shown that early puberty in girls is related to obesity. 40% of girls who had their first menstruation before the age of 11 were overweight, while the proportion of girls who had their first menstruation after the age of 11 was overweight was 25%. Studies have shown that overweight girls between the ages of 5 and 7 enter puberty earlier than girls of normal weight. Early puberty increases the effects of estrogen on them, which can increase their risk of breast and ovarian cancer.

1. It can easily lead to menstrual disorders

Clinical observations have found that obese women often suffer from menstrual disorders, which are manifested by a gradual decrease in menstrual volume until amenorrhea. If this situation occurs in adolescent females, symptoms such as rough skin, acne, hirsutism, and polycystic enlargement of both ovaries will appear at the same time, which is called "polycystic ovary syndrome." Modern medical research believes that obese women with menstrual disorders often have dysfunction in the thalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis system, which causes hormone imbalance in the body. Half of them suffer from oligomenorrhea or abnormal ovarian function. Obese pregnant women may also suffer from pregnancy poisoning and dystocia.

2. Susceptibility to Breast Cancer

Obesity is an important factor in inducing breast cancer. Medical experts have conducted a lot of research on the occurrence, development and prognosis of breast cancer from multiple perspectives. The results showed that: from the perspective of the occurrence of breast cancer, overweight or obese women, especially postmenopausal women, have a significantly higher risk of breast cancer than women with normal weight; from the perspective of the development of breast cancer, obese women with breast cancer are more likely to have axillary lymph node metastasis, and the postoperative recurrence rate is also higher than that of non-obese people; from the perspective of the prognosis of breast cancer, the mortality rate of obese women with breast cancer is significantly higher than that of women with normal weight.

3. Susceptibility to endometrial cancer

Medical research has found that obese women are more susceptible to endometrial cancer, and their incidence rate is much higher than that of people with normal weight. Therefore, to reduce the incidence of endometrial cancer, we must work hard to control weight and reduce obesity. Generally speaking, obese women should regularly check their blood pressure, blood sugar and urine sugar, because obesity accompanied by diabetes and high blood pressure is a very dangerous sign of endometrial cancer.

4. Causes coronary heart disease, fatty liver, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease, etc.

Obesity may lead to hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, fatty liver, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease, etc. However, obese girls are more likely to develop diabetes when they grow up. Therefore, obesity has a great impact on our lives. In addition to genetics, endocrine disorders and organic diseases, the most important factor in the formation of obesity is improper diet.

5. Impact on reproductive function

Medical research has found that the size and number of fat cells in obese people are far greater than those in normal people. The role of fat cells is not only to store fat, but also has certain endocrine functions. Fat cells can produce certain hormones and can also become target cells for receiving certain hormones. The increase in fat cells disrupts the hormone balance system, and the changes in hormone levels are greater in people with abdominal obesity. Adult women with severe abdominal obesity may experience abnormal ovulation, infrequent menstruation, shortened menstrual periods, or even amenorrhea, which can lead to reproductive dysfunction such as difficulty conceiving. Some women may also develop polycystic ovary syndrome.

In short, the harm of obesity in women is self-evident, especially in winter, when there is less exercise, which is most likely to cause fat accumulation. Therefore, obese women need to lose weight persistently and scientifically and maintain a normal weight in order to keep fit and healthy.
