Is it difficult for a fat woman to get pregnant?

We all know that a girl's physique is very important to her. For some women who are naturally too thin, it is particularly difficult for them to conceive because their physical fitness is relatively poor. Overexertion can easily cause the uterus to move backwards, which may lead to infertility. So for women who are too fat, are they easy to get pregnant? Let me introduce it to you below

Too skinny: The soil is too poor

Pregnancy and childbirth are also physical tasks. For women who pursue "there is no thinnest, only thinner", the reason why pregnancy is difficult is just like good crops cannot grow in barren land. Excluding pathological factors, women who are too skinny are prone to malnutrition, and their endometrium is like a "barren soil", making it difficult for the fertilized egg to implant.

An important manifestation of girls' puberty is the rapid increase of subcutaneous fat, especially in the buttocks and thighs, which is in preparation for having children. "Studies have shown that only when the body weight is normal and there is an appropriate amount of fat in the body can the ovaries function normally. If the ovaries do not function properly, pregnancy will be greatly affected."

An eight-year study conducted at the Chicago Fertility Center in the United States found that among three groups of women preparing to have children: very thin, normal, and obese, 50% of the women in the normal weight group became pregnant, 45% of the obese group, including the very obese, became pregnant, and the pregnancy rate of the too thin group was only 34%.

Doctors say that in addition to the factor of "poor soil", women who are too thin have relatively low estrogen levels and are not easy to conceive. Therefore, if a thin girl wants to get pregnant, she must gain an appropriate amount of weight to reach the standard weight. Standard weight (kg) = height (cm) - 105, with a fluctuation of plus or minus 10%. If a woman's weight is less than 90% of the standard weight, she is considered malnourished, which will have a great impact on pregnancy.

If you want to gain weight, you can arrange your diet according to the food pyramid of the Chinese Nutrition Society. Appropriately increase the intake of staple foods, eat less snacks, and drink less beverages. For women who suffer from long-term malnutrition, it is best to go to the hospital first and restore their normal weight under the guidance of a doctor. The doctor stressed: "The body is a complex system. If you gain weight too quickly, your heart and digestive system will be under great pressure, so gaining 2 to 3 kilograms a month is appropriate. It is not recommended to gain weight quickly by eating fried foods or late-night snacks."

Too plump: abnormal gestational environment

The reason why obesity affects fertility is that it affects ovulation and endocrine hormones related to conception.

According to a survey, among obese women, there are many more infertile women due to inability to ovulate than ordinary women. Moreover, if you have abdominal obesity, it will increase the possibility of infertility. Studies have found that for every 0.1 increase in the waist/hip ratio, the chance of conception decreases by 30%.

Doctors point out that girls who are too fat are prone to abnormal ovulation. In addition to the decrease in the number of eggs, the eggs will mature slowly and it will be difficult for them to implant in the endometrium. Obesity can also cause women's estrogen levels to decrease and their androgen levels to increase, making it difficult for them to conceive.

Most obese women have insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia, that is, the liver, muscles and other tissues are insensitive to insulin. Therefore, the pancreas produces more insulin to compensate. However, the ovaries are much more sensitive to insulin than the liver and muscles. Hyperinsulinemia can stimulate the ovaries to secrete excessive male hormones, thereby affecting ovulation and leading to infertility.

In order to get pregnant successfully, fat girls must lose weight, but not too hastily. Studies show that losing more than 10% of your body weight in a year can lead to menstrual disorders. Therefore, weight loss should be gradual and not rushed.
