One of the symptoms of PCOS is obesity. For overweight sisters, weight loss is an important management measure. Obesity is closely related to many symptoms and complications of PCOS.

What benefits can weight loss bring?

Improve reproductive health: Losing weight to a normal range can help restore ovulation and increase the chances of pregnancy.

Studies have shown that even a 5% weight loss can have a positive impact on some women, and a weight loss of more than 10% can significantly increase the chances of resuming natural ovulation and reduce insulin levels in the blood. So girls should take positive action, control their mouths, and move their legs.

Regulate hormone levels: Losing weight helps reduce androgen levels in the body, improves insulin resistance, and by reducing fat mass, it can reduce the production of leptin by adipose tissue, thereby improving hormone balance.

Improved drug sensitivity: Losing weight can enhance the body's response to PCOS medications, such as reducing the need for medications like metformin, while also reducing possible side effects of medications.

Improved quality of life: Losing weight can also improve mental health, reduce depression and anxiety, and improve self-image and fertility.

However, weight loss methods need to be scientific and reasonable, avoiding excessive dieting or extreme exercise to avoid causing physical stress. There was once a girl who excessively pursued "skinny beauty" and chose to undergo abdominal liposuction, which led to ovarian problems and infertility.

Therefore, the weight loss plan of patients with PCOS should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor or nutritionist to ensure effective weight loss without damaging health.

For non-obese women with PCOS, the focus is on comprehensive management, including regular exercise, a healthy diet, and necessary medication.
