Abstract

Body image is a crucial part of subjective experience in daily life. Most women are concerned with their body transformations due to pregnancy, delivery, breastfeeding, menopause, weight gain and obesity, serious gynecological and other diseases. Body image perceptions may influence women’s health, sexuality, fertility, and social behavior.
 Popularized images of slim models and celebrities adversely affect women’s perceptions of beauty and attractiveness. The difference between the perceived body image and desired silhouette may result in body image dissatisfaction. Outlook comparisons may influence the quality of life and result in anxiety, loss of confidence, and sexual ill-health.
