Why does a woman's belly bulge?

The lower abdomen is relatively important for women. If there is a bulge in the lower abdomen, it will have a great impact on women's figure. There are many reasons why women have a protruding belly, the most common of which is fat accumulation. Of course, some organic diseases, such as polycystic ovary or excessive psychological stress, can cause a protruding abdomen. Below, we will introduce to you the common causes of abdominal protrusion!

1. Abdominal fat accumulation

Many women gain weight around the waist first, forming the legendary "pear" or "apple" shaped body. Even many girls have slim limbs, but have several circles of fat hidden on their stomachs, and their waists are a few centimeters wider than ordinary people, thus becoming the "waistless" group.

If there are no other diseases causing fat to accumulate in the abdomen, the main reason is eating too much and exercising too little. Especially for office workers, who sit in the office for at least 6.5 hours a day, abdominal fat is only stored and not removed. Over time, the fat settles in the abdomen.

The dangers of abdominal obesity cannot be underestimated, as it is the most dangerous factor for hypertension, diabetes, and coronary heart disease. Women with abdominal obesity may also be targeted by a variety of diseases such as arthritis, breast cancer, endometrial cancer, etc. The consequences can be very serious!

Therefore, it is better to reduce belly fat as early as possible. The only truth for losing belly fat is: eat less and exercise more.

Reduce your food intake, but make sure you feel full, and then supplement it with vigorous exercise. For example, insist on running 2 to 3 times a week, and do targeted training such as sit-ups. I believe that in a few months, your belly will be flatter.

2. Polycystic ovary syndrome

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common disease in women of childbearing age caused by complex endocrine and metabolic abnormalities. The main clinical manifestations are irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, hirsutism or acne. It is the most common female endocrine disease.

Generally speaking, symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome may cause symptoms of lower abdominal obesity. If polycystic ovary syndrome is not treated after a delay, it will bring many hazards, such as secondary infertility, premature aging, secondary malignant tumors, etc.

If you have the above symptoms, you must go to a regular national hospital for examination and treatment. And cooperate with the doctor's requirements and eat and live a reasonable life.

3. Psychological pressure

There is a saying that goes, "It's hard to lose weight if you keep too many things in your heart." Although it sounds a bit sarcastic, it does make sense.

A 19-year research project led by the University College London Medical School found that people's work stress is directly proportional to their likelihood of obesity. The study involved 6,895 men and 3,413 women aged between 35 and 55 before and after. Participants submitted questionnaires about work stress three times at regular intervals.

The results showed that the more times participants said they were "too stressed" in the three surveys, the more likely they were to be obese. Compared with participants who never felt stressed, those who reported feeling "too stressed" once, twice, and three times were 17%, 24%, and 73% more likely to be obese, respectively. The research report was also published in the American Journal of Epidemiology.
