Being overweight or obese can create a major impact on a woman’s overall general health, as well as their sexual health. As described in the June 2009 study in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics, “The impact of obesity on reproductive health over a women's entire life span (in the family-planning years, reproductive years, and menopause years) is described. The treatment of obesity will have a positive effect on a woman's sexual health, with a likely improvement in FSD and a decrease in risk factors related to contraception, pregnancy, infertility, and menopause.” Carrying extra pounds can also lead to decreased confidence and self-esteem, causing women to feel less desirable. If a woman does not feel comfortable in her own skin, it is quite possible that she also will not feel comfortable with a partner.
