Beschreibungen/Notizen

• •Currently natural lifestyle modification is recommended over bariatric surgery in the management of infertility in obese men and women, despite natural weight loss often being an ineffective method to both lose and maintain weight loss in these individuals.•Through this meta-analysis and systematic review, we provide evidence that bariatric surgery effectively improves fertility outcomes for men and women by measurements of hormone levels and improvements in sexual function index scores.•This study demonstrates the importance and even cruciality of bariatric surgery in obese men and women who struggle with reproductive health, especially when finding it difficult to lose and maintain weight. It also proves that it is vital to continue to create and expand our knowledge with evidence-based medicine to help this cohort of patients.
