Relationship between metabolic abnormalities and infertility

A worried Li came to my clinic, two spontaneous abortions and the subsequent lack of pregnancy had filled her heart with gray in the past two years. A large base of past medical records was filled with her confusion: all the test results were normal. On my first visit, she left a deep impression on me: a pretty face, tall and slightly plump. Through communication with Li and further examination, I found out that she liked to eat snacks, did not exercise, had a completely irregular work schedule because she did not have to go to work, and the only abnormality found in the examination results was an elevated insulin ratio (the test values were all within the normal range, but the ratio calculated by the formula was abnormal). The treatment plan I formulated for her was: regular exercise, rationed diet, regular rest and relaxation, together with the drug Metformin for three months. Li was an exceptionally well-behaved patient, losing more than 10 pounds in three months, and her insulin ratio returned to normal. I told her she could try to get pregnant. To my surprise, she brought me the news of pregnancy two months later, and she passed through the miscarriage risk period without any signs of miscarriage. Now she is a happy mom. This successful case makes me want to give you a reminder: unhealthy lifestyle is probably also the culprit of infertility. The following is quoted from the China Ningbo Network: Studies at home and abroad have shown that overweight and obesity contribute to infertility in both men and women. American experts have conducted statistics on 26,303 couples planning a pregnancy, and found that compared with men with normal body mass index, men with increased body mass index, overweight and obesity, the risk of infertility also increases. Men with a high BMI not only have lower sperm viability and vigor, but also have increased sperm DNA fragmentation, which leads to lower pregnancy rates for their wives and easier miscarriages. Similarly, obesity is a contributing factor to female infertility. In a study of 7327 pregnant women, it was found that weight loss increased the fertility of overweight and obese women. Obese women often suffer from menstrual disorders, thick body hair, and acne, which is due to endocrine disruption caused by obesity, which in turn leads to metabolic syndromes. These include polycystic ovary syndrome, hyperandrogenemia, etc., which result in the manifestation of female masculinity and even female infertility. Therefore, successful weight loss is a prerequisite for successful pregnancy. First, regular work and rest, three meals at regular intervals, less snacking; second, the diet supplemented with enough high-quality protein, preferably plant protein, such as soy products; third, increase the intake of fresh vegetables and plant foods to ensure the absorption of vitamins and minerals, reduce the amount of animal and finely processed foods; fourth, drink enough 8 cups of boiled water every day; fifth, do not sit down immediately after the meal, you can take a walk for half an hour, and do not eat after 8:00 p.m. Eating; Sixth, appropriate exercise.
