Kompas.com - ideal body weight is also a prerequisite for getting pregnant. But less known is too lean body weight is much more influential in fertility compared with people who are overweight.
Dr.Richard Sehrbahn, fertility expert from Chicago, USA, said the danger of the weight is too thin for this often overlooked. In fact, in a study done, people lean more difficult to become pregnant compared with those who are obese.
Over the past 8 years Sherbahn, who practiced at Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago, has handle 2500 sessions IVF. The women who become patients divided into three groups based on body weight, very thin, normal, and obesity. Women of normal weight group includes women who are grouped in obesity in the UK.
About 50 percent of women in the normal weight group had a baby. Similarly, 45 percent of the obese women, including women who entered in the very obese.
However, in women who are classified as very thin, the pregnancy success rate is only 34 percent. The woman who called too skinny in this group is the body mass index ranges from 14-18.
According Sherbahn, difficulty conceiving naturally skinny women occurs due to decreased estrogen. But the women who participated IVF will be given hormones so this should not be a cause of low success rate of pregnancy.
The women in this study three groups of eggs produced in the same amount, because it is in women who are too thin, the problem occurs in the next process. Chances are difficult embryo attaches to the uterus for women who are too skinny are usually malnourished.
"The failure of fertilization that occurs may be part of an evolutionary process.'s Body as if to say if it is too thin is not enough food available, so this is not the time to reproduce and the condition of the uterus is not at his best," he said.
He added that most women do not realize that the body is too thin can interfere with fertility. "The young girl seems to think super thin body is ideal. They do not understand the risk behind it," he added.
He therefore suggested that women who are trying to have children, either naturally or following the course of fertility and IVF, to raise the weight close to ideal weight.
