Metabolic syndrome
Infertility and metabolic syndrome and diabetes there is a worldwide global epidemic of metabolic disorders clustered and referred to as metabolic syndromes.
Metabolic syndrome is characterized with the existence of abdominal obesity, increased blood pressure, the presence of noticeable increase in fatigue and muscle pain, and the presence of heart disease and high cholesterol. When the conditions are present, a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome may be appropriate leading to the creation of secondary complications involving fertility.
If, after treating for infertility, you are blessed with a pregnancy, there are health risks that can develop if you have metabolic syndrome. While it is not clear how a developing fetus is adversely affected by metabolic syndrome, it is believed that the intrauterine tissue is adversely impacted when your weight, sugar levels, and your cardiovascular health are impaired. Therefore, before even beginning a fertility program, you may want to work with an endocrinologist to address your metabolic disorders.
Fertility treatments can be costly. For women who are at-risk for a metabolic syndrome complication, expending the cost for fertility treatments may be deferred until a health weight, lowered cholesterol, and normal blood sugar levels can be attained. Rather than expending costs, and probably placing your unborn child at risk, your fertility specialists will usually recommend deferring fertility treatment but, in some rare cases, may proceed. As a woman desiring to have children, it will be your responsibility, ultimately, to ensure your health is normalized so as to ensure your body is given every opportunity to successfully conceive.
Pregnancy and metabolic syndrome

Gestational diabetes is a state of impaired glucose tolerance of different degree, which is for the first time diagnosed in pregnancy. It turned out that the occurrence of GDM poses a risk of the development of the diabetes type I in about 4% and the diabetes type II in about 13% for 2-10 years after the pregnancy. .
Obesity and diabetes in combination with insulin resistance, hypertension and dyslipidemia make so-called MBS and as such is associated with increased morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases.
