By NBC
Learn how our comprehensive weight loss procedures can help manage PCOS symptoms.
Understanding the Link Between Obesity and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS):
Obesity can exacerbate the symptoms of PCOS, a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age, impacting fertility, menstrual cycles, and more.
Obesity’s Role in Exacerbating PCOS:
- Hormonal Imbalances: Excess weight can lead to hormonal disturbances, worsening PCOS symptoms like irregular menstrual cycles and infertility.
- Insulin Resistance: Many women with PCOS have insulin resistance, which can be aggravated by obesity, further impacting ovarian function.
Key Statistics:
- About 50-60% of women with PCOS are obese or overweight.
- Weight loss as little as 5-10% can lead to a significant improvement in PCOS symptoms.
Breaking the Cycle: Weight Management for PCOS Control
- Effective Weight Reduction: Weight loss through medical procedures can significantly improve PCOS symptoms, including regulating menstrual cycles and increasing fertility chances.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Adopting a balanced diet and regular exercise can enhance the effectiveness of weight loss treatments in managing PCOS.
