Can gynecological diseases cause obesity?

Gynecological diseases are often some diseases of the female reproductive system, such as external diseases, vaginal diseases, uterine diseases, ovarian diseases or fallopian tube diseases. Some gynecological diseases can cause women to lose weight, such as endometritis and cervical erosion. There are also some gynecological diseases that can cause women to gain weight, such as polycystic ovary syndrome. Let’s take a look at which gynecological diseases can cause weight gain.

Gaining weight is the most taboo thing for most women nowadays, and gynecological diseases can also cause weight gain. Therefore, experts remind us to maintain a good figure and keep good health first. Obesity is mostly related to genetic inheritance, eating habits, etc. Obesity without obvious pathological factors is called simple obesity, but some gynecological diseases are directly related to obesity.

Polycystic ovary syndrome often occurs in people aged 20 to 35. In addition to obesity and weight gain, it is often accompanied by infrequent menstruation, amenorrhea, hirsutism and infertility. This is due to the presence of relatively high levels of androgens in the body. Endometrial cancer is a disease that occurs most frequently in women aged 55 to 60 and is often accompanied by obesity, hypertension, diabetes, etc. Some people believe that obesity is related to the occurrence of endometrial cancer because fat cells can increase estrogen levels, which is one of the more clear pathogenic factors.

Obesity, reproductive incompetence and malnutrition, when there are lesions in the hypothalamus or craniopharyngeal duct, can cause obesity, accompanied by amenorrhea, genital atrophy, incomplete development of secondary sexual characteristics, etc. Lesions on the dorsal side of the sella turcica can be seen in skull X-rays. Empty sella syndrome is a congenital or radiotherapy-induced empty sella. Most patients suffer from obesity, amenorrhea, and some patients have headaches.

Women with gynecological diseases should go to the hospital for a gynecological examination in time, such as vulva examination, vaginal examination, cervical examination, corresponding examination of the uterus and appendages, and examination of the cleanliness of leucorrhea. If necessary, gynecological B-ultrasound examination is a very good way to diagnose gynecological diseases.
