Nowadays, we live in a fast-paced era, with food, fast food, and a lack of exercise at work, and more and more obese people. Everyone knows that obesity will affect women's beauty and may also affect health, but they haven't figured out that obesity will also affect fertility and the success of IVF, why?
First, let's look at what adverse effects obesity may have on women's bodies.
1. Affect endocrine, resulting in inaccurate menstruation and endocrine disorders.
2. It affects the development of follicles and the quality of embryos, resulting in high incidence of early miscarriage in women, low quality of embryos, and difficulty in conception.
3. Affect the endometrial environment, damage the receptivity of the endometrium, and cause symptoms such as embryo implantation failure and spontaneous abortion.
Of course, obesity also has an impact on male fertility. Obesity can lead to high estrogen levels in the male body, interfering with the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, decreased testosterone levels, and decreased fertility.
Dr. Zhang XinNathan Zhang) mentioned that the dosage of IVF stimulation depends on the woman's age, ovarian condition, height and weight. If you are overweight, the amount of medication will increase a lot, and the absorption of the drug will also be affected, so for obese women, doctors recommend that you lose weight appropriately before IVF.
Of course, obesity is not good, and being too thin also affects the success of IVF, why?
If you are underweight, it indicates malnutrition, or even a lack of nutrients, resulting in insufficient menstrual blood volume, and even irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, ovulation disorders, etc., which in turn affect fertility.
Therefore, whether you need to prepare for pregnancy or IVF, everyone should maintain a regular life and manage their weight and health.
