In addition to the common risks of obesity, obesity in women also has its own uniqueness. The risks mainly refer to the complications caused by obesity, such as high blood pressure, insulin resistance and diabetes, dyslipidemia, coronary heart disease, pulmonary insufficiency, cholelithiasis, gout, etc., as well as the disability and death caused by these complications. Uniqueness is determined by women's physiological characteristics. Obese girls may experience premature puberty, early menstruation, and premature breast development. For adult women, obesity can increase the risk of cancer because the female hormone estrogen is produced in the body's fat tissue. The more fat tissue in the human body, the greater the estrogen formation. Therefore, the estrogen level in obese women is higher than that in normal women. The higher the estrogen level, the greater the risk of endometrial cancer and postmenopausal breast cancer. Therefore, obese women are at much greater risk of developing these two gynecological tumors. Increased estrogen may also cause or aggravate leg and foot swelling. In addition, because hyperglargineuria can cause the uterus and ovaries to produce too much androgen, the body's secreted testosterone level may be higher than that of normal women, causing women to show male characteristics such as excessive hair growth, and can also lead to menstrual disorders or even amenorrhea and infertility. The pessimistic result may be polycystic ovary syndrome. Even if pregnant, it is easy to have too many pregnancy complications, such as pregnancy-induced hypertension and maternal hyperglycemia, it is also easy to show abnormal growth and development of the fetus and abnormal posture, and it is easy for pregnant women to have dystocia. Obese women have too much abdominal fat, which makes it difficult for doctors to perform pregnancy tests. If a caesarean section is required, the operation is also very inconvenient. In addition, obese women are more likely to suffer from osteoarthritis than men, middle-aged women are more likely to suffer from cholelithiasis, and women with abdominal obesity are more likely to suffer from gout, etc. After all, obesity can cause a lot of trouble for women. |
