Underweight female infertility & CSLC CAP

Nurturing Hope: Addressing Underweight Female Infertility with Clinically Supported Lifestyle Correction (Based on Dr. Jolly Thomson’s Approach)

For women trying to conceive, maintaining a healthy body weight is crucial for optimal reproductive function. While obesity is a well-known factor in infertility, being significantly underweight (low Body Mass Index or BMI) can also disrupt hormonal balance and ovulation, making conception difficult. At LCC Hospital, leveraging Clinically Supported Lifestyle Correction (Based on Dr. Jolly Thomson’s Approach), we provide compassionate and comprehensive care to help women achieve a healthy weight and enhance their fertility.

How Underweight Status Can Impact Female Fertility

The body requires a certain amount of fat to produce and regulate hormones essential for ovulation and menstruation. When a woman is significantly underweight, it can signal to the body that it’s not a safe or energy-rich environment for pregnancy, leading to:

• Anovulation/Amenorrhea: Irregular or absent ovulation and menstrual periods due to hormonal imbalances (e.g., low estrogen).
• Disrupted Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Ovarian (HPO) Axis: The complex communication system between the brain and ovaries gets suppressed.
• Poor Egg Quality: Lack of sufficient nutrients can negatively affect oocyte health.
• Implantation Issues: The uterine lining may not be adequately prepared for embryo implantation.
• Increased Risk of Miscarriage: If conception does occur.
• Nutritional Deficiencies: A lack of essential vitamins and minerals crucial for reproductive health.

Achieving a healthy weight is often a foundational step in fertility treatment for underweight women.
