Radoslaw Slopien et al. Gynecol Endocrinol. 2019 Feb.

Abstract

As obesity is considered to be a pandemic of the twenty-first century, the bariatric surgery becomes more common through the global population. The adverse effects of obesity on fertility can be reversed through the bariatric surgery procedures. In this review, we presented the effects of bariatric surgery on hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis and fertility, ovarian reserve, and contraception efficacy.

Keywords: Obesity; fertility; surgical treatment.
