In a world where convenience often trumps conscious choices, the prevalence of obesity has reached alarming levels. Obesity is a complex condition characterized by excessive body fat, posing serious health risks. To gauge one's weight status, the   Body Mass Index (BMI)   is commonly used, calculated by dividing an individual's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters. Another crucial metric in assessing obesity is the  Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR) , which measures the distribution of fat in the body. When WHR and BMI exceed certain thresholds, the condition is classified as morbid obesity, indicating severe health implications.

This surge in weight-related concerns is a harbinger of various health issues, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory disorders...

Endometrial Thickness:- One of the most important parameters in infertility treatment is endometrial thickness. The thickness of the endometrial lining is important for embryo implantation. In the natural cycle as well as in the stimulated cycle, when the egg reaches around 18 mm the endometrium grows under the effect of oestrogen and usually reaches the magic measurement of around 10.3+- 0.3 mm or more and becomes triple layered. If endometrium remains thin in spite of good egg size then that needs an evaluation.     Causes of Thin Endometrium:- Some important causes of the thin endometrium include chronic pelvic infection, genital tuberculosis, previous history of dilatation and curettage or asherman's syndrome. It has been seen that when we use clomiphene citrate for ovulation induction, it is associated with a thinner endometrium.
