the endeavor of new and latest trends in medicine, obstetrician/gynecologist (Ob-Gyn)

Previous
year, medical data revealed that 93 million people in the United States are
obese, majority is of women and a considerable proportion of them are pregnant.
Obesity is one of the most problematic issues during pregnancy since it
increases the risk of heart diseases, cancer, heart attack, Diabetes, High
Blood Pressure, Sleep Apnea, Joint Problems and many other OB/GYN problems. It
also increases many risks for Breast Cancer, Ovarian Cancer, Uterine Cancer,
with chances of infertility and complications of pregnancy. Complications can
be like:
- Fetus may be larger in size and predisposed to Diabetes
- More chance of cesarean section is there with more difficulties such as hemorrhage, infections and blood clots
- Birth control may be less successful
- Urinary incontinence directly increases as the weight increases.
It
won’t be wrong to say that to control pregnancies disorders; women should
follow a proper diet chart. Putting up an example, a survey done in 2011
developed a food pyramid, more easy approach “My Plate” was carried out to
acknowledge healthy eating. It made the diet simpler for the Americans, half of
the plate was of fruits and vegetables and the other half was of whole grains
and protein. This division was done into color codes like red for fruit,
green for vegetables, brown for grains and purple for protein. The basic
purpose was to make the health chart easy and simple for the Americans and to
reduce severe pregnancy issues. Secondly, obese women are five times more likely
to develop endometrial cancer.
