Abstract
Objective:
Obesity has been identified to be one of the major risk factors for infertility. On conducting reviews, most studies have portrayed that a higher value of BMI has a negative impact on the reproductive health of the individual. Hormonal imbalance and ovulatory dysfunction due to obesity are some other factors which contribute to fertility issues. This study proposed to investigate the relationship between obesity and infertility in women of reproductive age, and also to explore how BMI had its influence on conception rates and reproductive outcomes in a Divisional Headquarters Teaching Hospital Mirpur, Azad Kashmir.
