Obesity is a growing global health problem that significantly affects women’s reproductive health. It is associated with hormonal imbalance, chronic inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction, all of which contribute to the development of reproductive system disorders. This article examines the role of obesity in the pathogenesis of various gynecological conditions, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), infertility, menstrual irregularities, endometrial hyperplasia, and gynecological cancers. The study highlights the underlying mechanisms linking obesity with reproductive dysfunction and emphasizes the importance of early intervention and lifestyle modification. Evidence suggests that obesity not only worsens existing reproductive disorders but also acts as an independent risk factor for their development.
