Does obesity cause infertility?

Obesity is likely to lead to infertility. Of course, this is often because female friends suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome. After the disease, the body gradually becomes obese, and even hair grows around the areola. The body also shows masculine characteristics. At the same time, the obvious phenomenon is that the body gradually becomes fatter. When this phenomenon occurs, it gives people the illusion that infertility is caused by obesity. In fact, a detailed diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome should be carried out.

Polycystic ovary syndrome is characterized by amenorrhea, obesity and other polycystic enlarged ovaries. Due to the dysfunction of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis, the mutual dependence and regulation are destroyed, resulting in ovulatory dysfunction of the ovaries. When the ovaries function poorly, the ovulation of the follicles will become irregular, or multiple follicles will grow in the same ovary at the same time, ultimately resulting in no mature eggs being released. With the increasing life and work pressure of urban women and the worsening of environmental pollution, the incidence of polycystic ovary syndrome has a gradual increasing trend. Currently, polycystic ovary syndrome has become the second most common cause of infertility after fallopian tube obstruction infertility, accounting for about 30% of women.

Examination: After the woman has slept for at least 8 hours every day, when she wakes up and does not do any activities, her body temperature is measured by putting a thermometer in her mouth and recorded. Generally speaking, the body temperature after ovulation will rise by 0.3-0.5℃ compared to before ovulation. If there is no ovulation, the body temperature will not rise in the second half of the menstrual period. Through continuous B-ultrasound examinations, changes in the ovaries and endometrium can be dynamically observed to determine whether ovulation has occurred. Moreover, vaginal B-ultrasound examination is more accurate and intuitive.

If you find that you are obese and have infertility problems, you should go to the hospital for a check-up in time. In addition to the examination methods introduced above, you can also focus on the examination of the uterine secretions or uterine cavity secretions, and you can also perform a laparoscopic examination. These examination methods can well detect whether women have genital lesions.
