Obesity is fatal to women, so what are the harms of obesity to women? What diseases can obesity cause in women? Although obesity is not unique to women, women hate obesity that men cannot understand. Obesity not only damages the beautiful shape of women and dampens their self-confidence, but also poses a direct threat to the uterus – inducing uterine cancer.
The incidence of uterine cancer is related to estrogen, so it is called a sex hormone-dependent tumor in medicine. Fat tissue in obese women converts an androgen in the blood into an estrogen (estrone) that is more carcinogenic than other estrogens. Therefore, obese women become the target of uterine cancer.
Studies have found that women’s fatness and thinness are related to whether they can maintain normal menstruation, and those who are overweight are often accompanied by menstrual disorders (such as uterine bleeding, amenorrhea). In the normal menstrual cycle of women, before ovulation, endometrial hyperplasia and thickening due to the action of estrogen; phenomenon in order to facilitate the implantation of the fertilized egg. Once the menstrual cycle is disordered and ovulation is lacking, under the continuous action of a single estrogen, the proliferative endometrium or endometrial hyperplasia can be formed. Once the endometrium grows wildly, it can cause uterine cancer. Among them, 1.5% of endometrial glandular hyperplasia will develop into uterine body cancer; adenoma hyperplasia, the malignant transformation rate is 8-10%; but atypical hyperplasia, if not treated, most will be transformed uterine cancer.
Therefore, for your health and your beauty, obese women should actively strive to control their ideal weight to ensure a normal menstrual cycle. If you find unexplained abnormal vaginal bleeding, you should seek medical attention in time. Women who have been anovulatory for a long time and have experienced excessive endometrial hyperplasia should apply ovulation induction drugs under the guidance of a doctor.
