Yes, you heard it right! Obese women have lesser chances to conceive, and even if they conceive, the pregnancy can bring several complications in the woman's body. Often it has been found that the child born in such a situation may have certain deformities or inborn disease that is extremely harmful to the child in the long run.
Just like in female, obesity can also affect male fertility. So for both of the partners, it is important that such a disease shall never be ignored. One should take immediate assistance from an expert or doctor.
You must have heard of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS. PCOS is a condition characterized by menstrual irregularities, hormonal level disorder, anovulation & infertility. What happens is that obesity brings hormonal imbalance, the insulin resistance & increase leptin thereby leading to disrupted ovulation. Due to such hormonal misbalance, the formation of eggs gets disrupted and it becomes difficult for the woman to conceive. Even if the woman conceives the chances of miscarriage, infection and blood clot is quite high for obese women.
