How obesity affects ovarian health
February 23, 2009
Obesity makes your body a nest of many ailments. Studies indicate that obesity raises the risk of womb cancer in women of all age groups. In both men and women, obesity is likely to increases the risk of certain cancers, especially those that affect the bowels, kidney and throat. Recent studies show that obese women are more prone to ovarian cancer when compared to their thinner counterparts.
Ovarian cancer is considered to be a particularly deadly type of cancer since its initial symptoms are extremely vague in nature. In most cases, no symptoms get manifested during the preliminary stages. So, by the time, a woman is diagnosed with this disorder she is likely to be in the advanced stages.
Women who develop obesity as a consequence of hormone replacement threrpay, which they underwent as part of their menopause treatment, also are found to be under increased threat. The hormonal changes initiated in the body of obese women make them more easy victims of ovarian cancer.
Increased weight gain, which is quite natural in women during the post-menopausal stage, subsequently leads to an enhanced production of oestrogen. On over-production of the female hormone, oestrogen, in turn stimulate the growth of ovarian cells. When the ovary cells are triggered to grow at a rapid pace ovarian cancer is resulted. That is exactly how obesity finally ends in ovarian cancer. Researchers also found that in elderly women who are obese, the risk of ovarian cancer is manifold. They are almost eighty percent more prone to the disorder.
Maintaining a healthy weight helps in reducing the risk for developing ovarian cancer. Studies also indicate that women who suffered from overweight problems during the early adulthood years are also likely to develop ovarian cancer during the later stages of their life. So, what is advisable is to ensure that your weight do not exceed its limits at any stage of your reproductive life and after.
