Does low menstrual flow generally cause obesity?

In fact, most female friends are very troubled by small menstrual volume, because this situation proves that there are some problems inside their body, and they must make some adjustments in time, so as to minimize the harm to their body. Moreover, small menstrual volume may also cause obesity, which is the last thing female friends want to see, because once they are obese, their figure will become seriously out of shape, which will not only affect their appearance, but also cause some troubles.

Normal women have more subcutaneous fat than men, especially in the breasts, abdomen, buttocks and thighs, which also contributes to the beauty of women's body. However, abnormal obesity not only makes women lose their body shape, but also brings some troubles, such as metabolic disorders and menstrual disorders, and some people will become infertile. Studies on obesity have shown that the incidence of menstrual abnormalities in obese patients is more than twice that of non-obese patients. From this point of view alone, it is suggested that obesity can lead to infertility. In addition, those who have been obese since the early stages of development (or early childhood) mostly have underdeveloped uteri, ovarian insufficiency, and even incomplete development of external genitalia accompanied by amenorrhea, and no secondary sexual characteristics appear. Such patients have difficulty in fertility. Clinical studies have found that the main cause of infertility is ovulation disorder, which can be manifested as anovulation, delayed ovulation and infrequent ovulation. Infertility in obese women has central factors (mental and emotional disorders, hypothalamic dysfunction) and ovarian factors. Ovulation disorders caused by these factors account for more than 50% of infertility.

Obese patients often suffer from infertility due to irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, and ovulation disorders. A person's weight is closely related to the body's endocrine function. If a woman's endocrine function is disordered, her body will tend to become obese, affecting ovulation and leading to infertility. This type of infertility is called infertility caused by phlegm and dampness obstruction in traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, women who are infertile due to this reason can only restore their sexual life to normal and become pregnant if they control their weight and stop gaining it.

A weight within ±10 010 of the standard weight is normal, a weight greater than 10% is overweight, and a weight greater than 20% is obese. Among them, those who exceed 20%~30% are mildly obese; those who exceed 31%~50% are moderately obese; and those who exceed the standard weight by more than 50% are severely obese.

Generally speaking, women are more likely to gain weight than men. This is because women have more subcutaneous fat than men. Therefore, if the menstrual flow is small, the first part of the body that will become obese is the abdomen. If there is excess fat on the abdomen, it will particularly affect the beauty of the body. Some severely obese patients may even become infertile for life, so it is difficult for them to have children.
