How obesity affects female fertility

الملخص EN

Obesity and excessive weight affect not only overall health but also reproductive health.

many obese women are infertile, and multiple research have demonstrated the link between obesity and infertility.

in addition to anovulation and menstrual abnormalities, obesity has been linked to reduced conception rate, as well as a reduced responsiveness to fertility treatment.

it also raises the risk of miscarriage and increases the likelihood of neonatal and maternal complications.

treatment of obesity, particularly abdominal obesity treatment, is linked to improved reproductive function thus treating obesity must be the first priority in infertile obese women before considering drugs of ovulation induction or procedures of assisted reproduction.
