The dream of having children is the dream and goal of all those who seek to build or create a family, it is how life goes and a desire created by God in human beings.

The human body needs to be of a suitable weight to ensure the health of the reproductive organs and sexual health as obesity causes a lot of trouble and problems due to excess weight, which makes the process of reproduction difficult or almost impossible for some people if they do not get rid of obesity.

- For women:

The higher the body mass index, the more difficult it is to get pregnant, that's because obesity causes hormonal imbalance in cases like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), resulting from extreme weight gain, in which case the woman must get rid of obesity in order to get rid of the ovarian cysts and allows the pregnancy to occur.

Obesity not only delays natural pregnancy to occur, but also reduces the chances of successful IVF.

- For men:

The weight of a man is as important as the weight of the woman in relation to the subject of reproductive and sexual health, excess weight causes erectile dysfunction, which negatively affects the chance of reproduction. 

As waist size increases in men, testosterone levels in the body decrease, reducing the chances of having children.

Obesity also has a negative impact on sperm in terms of count and movement, which reduces the fertility rate in men and makes reproduction difficult, so the only solution is to get rid of obesity first to ensure the success of the reproductive process.
