Although girls love to call themselves babies and love little ones, they all want to have a cute baby they can hug and kiss. But there are some women who suffer from the inability to conceive for many reasons. In fact, one type of infertility is related to obesity. The culprit of obesity causing infertility is polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos), and the two are mutually exclusive. Experts say that pcos may still be the number one cause of infertility in women today. Experts warn that women who are too obese during their reproductive years will have a very high chance of infertility. Who is the cause and who is the effect of pcos and obesity? The relationship between pcos and obesity is very complicated, whether pcos causes obesity or obesity triggers pcos, there is no definite conclusion yet, or the two are mutually induced and promoted, forming a vicious circle. Insulin resistance is common in pcos patients, and the sensitivity of cells to insulin is reduced, leading to an increase in insulin in the body and the formation of hyperinsulinemia. And studies have shown that hyperinsulinemia causes hyperandrogenemia and insulin resistance can lead to excess androgen and abnormal ovulation function through various pathways, resulting in the inability to get pregnant, thus polycystic ovary syndrome is very harmful to women. The proportion of pcos in women of reproductive age has reached more than 25%, which means that one out of every four people is a pcos patient. Most of the pcos patients in Guangdong are women of childbearing age, mainly in the age group of 25-40. Is it hard to get pregnant when you have pcos? Weight loss is the key! About 50-60% of pcos patients are obese, although it is more difficult for obese women to get pregnant, and even if they get pregnant, the chance of miscarriage is two times higher than normal women, and it is also easy to cause some complications such as gestational diabetes and hypertension. But women who want to have a baby don’t worry, suffering from pcos is not completely unable to get pregnant, as long as scientific weight management, can still improve the chances of pregnancy, reduce obstetric complications, so let’s listen to what the experts say. This part of obesity management is very important in the treatment of pcos, and pregnancy is generally recommended only after a certain treatment course has been achieved. For women with a high BMI, although it is not required to reduce the weight to normal, it is still necessary to work towards a normal weight ah. Only after reaching a certain treatment effect (such as the ratio of weight to insulin level and androgen level return to normal), the pregnancy rate will be higher, and there will be less complications after pregnancy! Scientific weight management, there are three mainstream methods Medical weight management the most basic and safe way to lose weight, is lifestyle intervention, the key is the diet control method, the main methods are: low-calorie diet, low-fat diet, low-carbohydrate diet, etc.. Medical weight management can only be used as a means of treatment, after weight loss, but also long-term adherence to the correct diet, at least five times a week to do exercise, each time about 30 minutes, “restraint is power. 1, low-calorie diet method That is, eat less and strictly control the calorie intake of pcos patients. This method is very effective, but more difficult to implement. For pcos patients, this method is very strict control of calories, the patient is often in a state of hunger, it is difficult to adhere to. Some guidelines point out that the use of this method can not exceed 12 weeks, too long will be detrimental to patients. 2, low-fat diet Compared to the low-calorie diet, the restriction on calories is more lenient. At the same mass, fat produces two times more calories than the same amount of carbohydrates and protein, so it is generally accepted that restricting fat intake is a better method. 3, carbohydrate diet This is by far the most popular method. Studies have shown that compared to the low-fat diet, the low-carbohydrate diet is more effective in burning body fat and therefore has better weight loss results. The low-carb diet is now becoming a trend, and it has two main methods: one is to limit the caloric intake of carbohydrates in a day, keeping it at about 50 grams. The other method is to treat with nutrition bars, i.e. meal replacement foods, while appropriately limiting calorie intake.
