- Abstract
Objective: The prevalence of obesity increases both in children and adolescents and in adults. In overweight or obese young girls, gynecological problems as well as obstetric problems in their future lives also occur. In our study, we investigated gynecological effects and consequences of obesity in women's life. Materials and Methods: A total of 299 women of 195 normal weight (BML20-24.9 kg/m2) and 104 obese women (BMI a30 kg/m2) were included in the study. The age, number of births, menstrual period, smoking habit and education level of women participating in the study were examined retrospectively from the records of the obesity and family medicine policlinic and transferred to the formed forms. Results: When obese women and nonobese women were compared, it was determined that the age of menarche was seen earlier in the obese group and the difference with the control group was statistically significant (p <0.001). Regarding the menstrual cycle information of the patients, it was determined that the menstrual cycle was irregular in the obese group and there was a statistically significant difference between the groups (p <0.001). Conclusion: As a result, obesity is a problem especially in the gynecological life of women, and it is a growing public health problem. For this reason, as clinicians, fighting with obesity will be able to contribute to informing gynecological and obstetric problems in women by participating in informing and fighting by acting together with public health practitioners.
