Modern women have already shown a diversified trend in their aesthetic perception of appearance. Some people like to pursue a slim figure, while others want a plump figure. Actually, being too thin or overweight can affect physical health and even affect fertility. So will obesity affect the success rate of in vitro fertilization?

American IVF experts say that maintaining a suitable body shape is also key to improving the success rate of IVF. In daily life, people often use weight to measure a person's weight. From a medical perspective, evaluation is mainly based on weight indicators. Body Mass Index (BMI)=Body Weight (kg)÷ The square of height in meters (kg/m2). Body mass index mainly refers to two factors: weight and height, which can reflect indicators of systemic overweight and obesity. Therefore, for some disease risk assessments, BMI is more accurate than simply measuring weight.

According to Chinese standards, if the BMI value exceeds 24, it belongs to the overweight range; If the BMI value is greater than 28, it indicates obesity. There is also a special situation where some women do not have a significant increase in weight and BMI, but their fat is concentrated in the waist and abdomen, and their lower abdomen bulges. This belongs to "centripetal obesity" and also falls within the range of overweight.

Being overweight not only poses a risk of infertility, but also has an impact on physical health. On the one hand, if a woman is overweight and has too much fat in her body, it can affect her endocrine levels, leading to endocrine disorders and affecting her menstrual cycle. Irregular menstruation can cause abnormal ovarian function and ovulation, affecting the normal ovulation of female eggs. On the other hand, being too obese can lead to high insulin levels in the body. In addition to causing an increase in blood pressure and vascular fat, it can also affect the growth and development of eggs, leading to immature or unhealthy egg development, making it difficult to meet and combine with sperm, greatly reducing fertility.

Overweight is influenced by in vitro fertilization. Excessive obesity can cause endocrine disorders, thereby affecting the receptivity of the endometrium to blastocysts, resulting in a decrease in blastocyst implantation rate; Compared with normal posture, obese women are generally more likely to suffer from hypertension and diabetes, which may lead to abnormal conditions such as premature abruption and stillbirth, posing a serious threat to the lives and health of mothers and children; In addition, obesity will also increase the cancellation rate of IVF treatment cycle, the dosage of ovulation promoting drugs, the abortion rate, and increase the incidence of obstetric complications such as pregnancy diabetes and pre eclampsia, which will reduce the probability of women having healthy full-term babies and increase the incidence of fetal malformations.

Healthy weight loss can improve the success rate of in vitro fertilization. According to multiple research results, weight loss of 5% to 10%, or a small portion of body weight, can greatly improve the success rate of in vitro fertilization. Therefore, reasonable and scientific weight loss is the key. By adjusting your diet and avoiding or reducing saturated and hydrogenated fatty acid foods such as pork, beef, mutton, fat, cream, whole milk, fried foods, etc., drink more water and eat more green vegetables and fresh fruits; Ensuring sufficient sleep can help stabilize the body's metabolism and to some extent suppress appetite; Adhere to appropriate aerobic exercise every day, such as jogging, swimming, yoga, etc. It can mainly promote the consumption of energy in the human body, avoid excessive energy from the body and convert it into fat accumulation, and also enable the body to decompose the accumulated fat.

Overweight women who choose to undergo in vitro fertilization can choose a scientific weight loss plan and avoid causing hormonal disorders that outweigh the benefits. As long as we adhere to a healthy and reasonable diet and exercise, adjust our body and posture, and conceive healthy babies is just around the corner.
