Obes Surg 2024; 34:2375-2382. [PMID: 38829463 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-024-07273-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common reproductive endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. It is difficult for patients with PCOS to achieve weight loss with conventional treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate weight loss and changes in hypothalamic-pituitary axis hormone levels in patients with PCOS combined with obesity after sleeve gastrectomy. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 12 patients without PCOS and 24 patients with PCOS who underwent bariatric surgery at Beijing Luhe hospital from 2020 to 2022 was performed. The study assessed the changes in body weight and hormonal indexes of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis before and six months after the surgery. RESULTS Patients with PCOS experienced greater weight loss compared to those without the condition. Following surgery, individuals with PCOS showed lower levels of postoperative testosterone, prolactin, and free testosterone indices compared to preoperative levels. Additionally, postoperative LH and FSH levels were higher than preoperative levels. Analysis of thyroid axis hormone levels revealed that FT3 and TSH levels were notably reduced in patients with PCOS postoperatively. Furthermore, growth hormone levels were found to be elevated in patients with PCOS following surgery. CONCLUSION Bariatric surgery enhances hormone levels in the hypothalamic-pituitary axis in women with PCOS, leading to greater improvements in patients with PCOS compared to those with simple obesity.

Abstract
Background To observe the basic metabolic characteristics of obese patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and observe and compare the effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and metformin treatment after 3 months. Methods In January to December 2018, the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University selected 104 women who were classified as obese with a body mass index (BMI) of 28 kg/cm2 or higher and had PCOS. They were divided into obese PCOS group (53 cases) and obese non-PCOS group (51 cases). Results 1. There was no significant difference in waist circumference and WHR between patients who are obese with PCOS and patients who are obese without PCOS (P > 0.05). Obese PCOS patients were significantly higher in anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), LH/FSH, T, FAI, homa-ir, triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL), Apo-B and uric acid than the group of non-PCOS patients who were obese. (P<0.05). The SHBG levels of obese patients with PCOS were obviously lower when contrasted with the levels in obese patients without PCOS (P < 0.05). 2. Body weight, BMI, INS, homa-ir and TG of obese PCOS patients were significantly decreased 3 months after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy compared with that before surgery (P < 0.05). After three months of medical treatment with metformin, the patients' homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was obviously reduced when contrasted with the pre-treatment HOMA-IR levels (P < 0.05), and there was no significant difference in the improvement degree of homa-ir between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions 1. Obese patients with PCOS demonstrated higher expression of AMH, LH/FSH, T, SHBG, and FAI when contrasted with the control group. Additionally, they experienced more severe insulin resistance and lipid metabolism disorders. 2. The weight and BMI of obese PCOS patients were significantly decreased after weight loss, while IR and blood lipid were significantly improved, while IR was improved in metformin group, and no significant discrepancy was observed in the degree of improvement of insulin resistance between both groups.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a multifactorial disease, which is closely related to obesity. This study evaluated the efficacy of bariatric surgery on obesity complicated with PCOS through meta-analysis. PubMed, Cochrane, EMbase, and WOS databases were searched from 2012 to November 2022. Studies on the efficacy of bariatric surgery in the treatment of obesity combined with PCOS were included. Outcome indicators included menstrual abnormalities, BMI, free testosterone, hypertrichosis, and ovarian volume. Methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated, and statistical analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. Finally, 9 studies were included, and the results of meta-analysis were as follows: After weight loss surgery, menstrual irregularity decreased (RR = -0.83, 95%CI:-1.00∼-0.65, P < 0.00001), and BMI decreased significantly (MD = -13.64, 95%CI:-16.29∼-10.99, P < 0.00001). Free testosterone levels decreased (MD = -22.70, 95 % CI: -36.07 ∼ -9.34, P < 0.00001), the incidence of hypertrichosis decreased (RR = 0.63, 95%CI: 0.45-0.88, p = 0.007 < 0.01), and the ovarian volume decreased (MD = -3.09, 5%CI: -5.76 ∼ -0.42, P < 0.00001).

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Obesity is one of the risk factors for polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and weight loss is the mainstay of treatment. This study investigates the effects of sleeve gastrectomy on clinical and paraclinical signs and symptoms of PCOS patients referred to a tertiary hospital. METHODS Female patients with a definite diagnosis of PCOS and body mass index (BMI) > 40 kg/m2 who were candidates for sleeve gastrectomy were enrolled in this cohort study and followed for 1 year postoperatively. Clinical signs and symptoms of PCOS, sonographic examination, and laboratory hormonal assessments were assessed preoperatively and 1 year following surgery. RESULTS Fifty patients enrolled in the study. The mean age of patients was 31.69 ± 9.54 years. The mean BMI before and after the surgery was 44.28 ± 3.03 and 29.37 ± 2.41 kg/m2, respectively. Oligomenorrhea was improved in 66% of patients. According to the sonographic criteria, PCOS was improved in 74% of patients. After a year post-operation, while the mean serum levels of the follicular stimulating hormone (FSH), testosterone, and dehydroepiandrostenedione have improved significantly in all patients (p < 0.001 in all), the significant decrease in serum luteinizing hormone (LH), LH/ FSH ratio, and estrogen was only noted in patients with improved clinical response (p < 0.05, p < 0.001, and p < 0.001 respectively). CONCLUSION Weight loss and improvements in hyperandrogenism following sleeve gastrectomy result in clinical and paraclinical improvement of PCOS signs and symptoms, including oligomenorrhea and ovulation induction.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine condition in premenopausal women and is a common cause of anovulatory subfertility. Although obesity does not form part of the diagnostic criteria, it affects a significant proportion of women with PCOS and is strongly implicated in the pathophysiology of the disease. Both PCOS and obesity are known to impact fertility in women; obesity also reduces the success of assisted reproductive technology (ART). With or without pharmacotherapy, lifestyle intervention remains the first-line treatment in women with PCOS and obesity. Bariatric surgery is still an experimental treatment in women with PCOS and subfertility. This review will present an overview of the pathophysiology of PCOS and obesity and the role of bariatric surgery. Although data are sparse regarding the impact of bariatric surgery on subfertility in women with PCOS and obesity, existing studies point to a beneficial role in treating metabolic and reproductive dysfunction.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, is associated with obesity. The most effective method to achieve and maintain long-term weight loss is by the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). In this review, an overview about metabolic and PCOS-specific outcomes after RYGB in obese PCOS women is provided. The RYGB leads to an adequate excess weight loss and reduction in BMI in this patient population. Testosterone levels decline significantly at 6- and 12-months follow-up, as does the incidence of hirsutism and cycle irregularities. Data about fertility are scarce in this patient population. In conclusion, RYGB surgery seems to be an efficient treatment option for obese PCOS patients and leads to weight loss and improvements in metabolic parameters as well as in an improvement of PCOS-specific characteristics. However, larger prospective studies are warranted, which include all PCOS-specific outcome data in one patient population at the same time.

Abstract
A significant fraction of couples around the world suffer from polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), a disease defined by the characteristics of enhanced androgen synthesis in ovarian theca cells, hyperandrogenemia, and ovarian dysfunction in women. Most of the clinically observable symptoms and altered blood biomarker levels in the patients indicate metabolic dysregulation and adaptive changes as the key underlying mechanisms. Since the liver is the metabolic hub of the body and is involved in steroid-hormonal detoxification, pathological changes in the liver may contribute to female endocrine disruption, potentially through the liver-to-ovary axis. Of particular interest are hyperglycemic challenges and the consequent changes in liver-secretory protein(s) and insulin sensitivity affecting the maturation of ovarian follicles, potentially leading to female infertility. The purpose of this review is to provide insight into emerging metabolic mechanisms underlying PCOS as the primary culprit, which promote its incidence and aggravation. Additionally, this review aims to summarize medications and new potential therapeutic approaches for the disease.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a heterogeneous endocrine disease that affects women of childbearing age. The pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome has not been fully studied to date, its paradigm considers the genetic determinism of the manifestation of hormonal and metabolic disorders, which are considered to be criteria for the verification of the disease (hyperandrogenism, oligo/anovulation and/or polycystic ovarian transformation during ultrasound examination (ultrasound). This review discusses the main ways of interaction between hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance and obesity and their role in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome, as well as possible methods of treatment for this category of patients. The review analyzes the role of hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance in the implementation of the genetic scenario of polycystic ovary syndrome and finds out the reasons why women with polycystic ovary syndrome often demonstrate the presence of a «metabolic trio» - hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is noted that obesity is not included in the criteria for the diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome, but epidemiological data confirm the existence of a relationship between these diseases. Obesity, especially visceral, which is often found in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, enhances and worsens metabolic and reproductive outcomes with polycystic ovary syndrome, as well as increases insulin resistance and compensatory hyperinsulinemia, which, in turn, stimulates adipogenesis and suppresses lipolysis. Obesity increases the sensitivity of tech cells to luteinizing hormone stimulation and enhances functional hyperandrogenism of the ovaries, increasing the production of androgens by the ovaries. Excess body weight is associated with a large number of inflammatory adipokines, which, in turn, contribute to the growth of insulin resistance and adipogenesis. Obesity and insulin resistance exacerbate the symptoms of hyperandrogenism, forming a vicious circle that contributes to the development of polycystic ovary syndrome. These data allow us to conclude that bariatric surgery can become an alternative to drugs (metformin, thiazolidinedione analogs of glucagon-like peptide-1), which has shown positive results in the treatment of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome and obesity.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bariatric surgery has been proven to be a successful management strategy for morbid obesity, but limited studies exist on its effect on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in terms of clinical, hormonal, and comorbidities. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a prospective observational study of 1013 PCOS patients who underwent bariatric surgery from a single high-volume center. Assessment of demographic data and menstrual irregularity as well as hirsutism and comorbidities was done preoperatively 6-month and yearly follow-up, whereas data regarding %TWL and %EWL was taken at follow-up visits conducted at regular intervals of 6 months, and 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years following surgery. RESULTS Out of 1013 PCOS patients, 993 patients had hirsutism before surgery, and 741 (74.6%; p < 0.001) had complete resolution of hirsutism at end of 6 months' follow-up. A total of 202 (20.3%) had moderate resolution at follow-up of 1 year, 5 patients had minimal resolution at end of 2 years, and 45 (4.5%) patients reported no change in their hirsutism at 4 and 5 years of follow-up. Among 1007 women with PCOS who had menstrual dysfunction, 936 (93% p < 0.0001) women restored their normal menstrual cycle at 6 months post-surgery with 55.4% EWL while remaining other 71 (7%) women reported regular menses at 2 years post-surgery at 74.2% EWL and continued to have normal menstrual pattern during the entire follow-up period. Similarly, all the associated comorbidities T2DM (79.7%), HTN (78.7%), DLP (93.2%), and OSA (98.5%) and symptoms of PCOS were statistically (p < 0.0001) and completely resolved at end years of follow-up. CONCLUSION Bariatric surgery is a good option for women with obesity and PCOS. It is effectively reducing weight along with PCOS and its disorder including hirsutism and menstrual irregularity in women with obesity and PCOS.

Abstract
CONTEXT The comparative effectiveness of drugs and surgical therapy for women with obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has not been systematically compared. OBJECTIVE We aimed to determine the difference in efficacy between drug and bariatric surgery therapy for women with obesity and PCOS. METHODS This prospective nonrandomized trial enrolled 90 women aged 18 to 40 years with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 27.5 kg/m2 and waist circumference ≥ 85 cm and fulfilling the 2011 Chinese diagnostic criteria for PCOS; 81 subjects completed the study. In the drug group, patients were administered metformin and an oral contraceptive containing ethinyl-estradiol and cyproterone acetate for the first 6 months, and metformin alone for the second 6 months. In the surgical group, patients underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomies. The follow-up period was 12 months. The main outcome was the complete remission of PCOS, requiring 6 consecutive regular menstruation cycles or spontaneous pregnancy. RESULTS Median BMI at endpoint was 30.1 kg/m2 in the drug group and 23.7 kg/m2 in the surgical group; complete remission rate was 15% and 78%, respectively. Except endpoint BMI, no difference was observed in free androgen index, ovarian morphology, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance, and total weight loss between remission and nonremission patients. Logistic regression analyses also revealed that the final BMI was the major factor influencing the remission of PCOS. The cutoff points for the final BMI were 27.5 kg/m2 for the drug group and 26 kg/m2 for the surgical group. Overall, nearly 95% of patients with an endpoint BMI below the cutoff values achieved complete remission. CONCLUSION Complete remission of PCOS in patients with obesity depends on the final BMI after weight loss. Thus, bariatric surgery should be prioritized for these patients.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a polygenic endocrine disorder caused by both genetic and epigenetic factors. Depending on the period of a woman's life, the clinical picture, diagnosis, and treatment tactics of the disease are different. PCOS has a complex of reproductive, metabolic and psychological characteristics. The target audience of these clinical recommendations are obstetrician-gynecologists, endocrinologists, general practitioners, general practitioners. In these clinical guidelines, all information is ranked according to the level of persuasiveness of recommendations and the reliability of evidence, depending on the number and quality of studies on this issue.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complicated reproductive endocrine disease that is closely related to obesity. Metabolic surgery ameliorates a series of clinical manifestations and related comorbidities of PCOS. However, the overall efficacy of metabolic surgery on PCOS remains uncertain. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of metabolic surgery on obese patients with PCOS. A systematic literature search for relevant studies was conducted on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library from inception to June 2021. Data extraction and quality evaluation were performed by three researchers, and RevMan 5.4 software was used to conduct the meta-analysis. A total of 14 studies involving 501 obese patients with PCOS were included. Incidence of PCOS in obese women ranged from 5.5% to 63.5% among the included studies. The results showed the incidence of abnormal menstruation decreased from 81% to 15% (OR=0.03, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.01-0.08), while the incidence of hirsutism dropped from 71% to 38% (OR=0.21, 95% CI: 0.06-0.74). Serum total testosterone and free testosterone levels decreased by 25.92 ng/dL (MD = -25.92, 95% CI: -28.90- -22.93) and 2.28 ng/dL (SMD = -2.28, 95% CI: -3.67- -0.89), respectively. Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels increased by 26.46 nmol/L (MD = 26.46, 95% CI: 12.97-39.95). Serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels decreased by 1.29 ng/mL (MD = -1.29, 95% CI: -1.92- -0.66). Small sample size studies revealed that pregnancy rates ranged from 95.2% to 100% postoperatively. Metabolic surgery contributed to marked improvement of abnormal menstruation, hirsutism, and levels of free testosterone, total testosterone, SHBG, and AMH in patients with PCOS. Our findings indicate that patients with PCOS are expected to benefit from metabolic surgery, and could help potentially improve their reproductive outcomes. Metabolic surgery could thus be a new viable option for the clinical treatment of PCOS. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, identifier CRD42021251524.

Abstract
Obesity has major adverse effects on reproductive performance and fertility potential especially in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the consequences of excess weight reduction by bariatric surgery on androgen levels, and ovarian volume by ultrasonography in obese polycystic ovary patients. This one year Cohort study was carried out in Zagazig university hospitals. The study included 36 infertile women with PCOS and obesity, who underwent bariatric surgery(sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass). Patients were evaluated for free and total serum testosterone levels, Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), free androgen index (FAI) and also ovarian volume by ultrasound pre-operatively, 6 months and 1 year after surgery. The results showed significant reduction in Body Mass Index, free and total serum testosterone levels and rise in SHBG and regulation of menstrual cycle at 6 and 12 months after operation. Free androgen index and ovarian volume by ultrasound also significantly decreased (p < 0.001) .As a conclusion, Bariatric surgery results in durable loss of weight and restores the normal physiological balance of androgenic milieu and ovarian morphology by ultrasound, in infertile women who have Polycystic ovary syndrome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the changes in body fat distribution and predicting factors of these changes in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients with obesity, after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). METHODS This study consecutively enrolled 153 patients with obesity aged 18-45 years (83 with PCOS and 70 control patients) who underwent LSG from May 2013 to September 2020 at the Department of Endocrinology, Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital, with a 12-month follow-up. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) was used to assess body fat distribution. RESULTS The percentage of fat mass loss in the visceral adipose tissue (VAT) region (55.08%) was more than that in any other body regions at 12 months post-surgery in the PCOS group yet insignificant. Homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) at baseline and Δ HOMA-IR were only negatively correlated with the variations in VAT mass and volume at 3 months post-surgery in the PCOS group. Logistic regression analysis showed that HOMA-IR <6.65 was an independent predictive factor for the changes in VAT mass and volume at 3 months post-surgery in the PCOS group. CONCLUSIONS In this study, the percentage loss of fat mass was greater in the VAT region than in any other body regions in all patients. The rate of VAT decrease in the PCOS group was higher than that in the control group yet insignificant. Compared with control patients, HOMA-IR at baseline was an independent risk factor for the changes in VAT mass and volume at 3 months post-surgery in patients with PCOS. KEY POINTS • The percentage loss of fat mass was greater in the VAT region than in any other body regions in all patients. • The rate of VAT decrease in the PCOS group was higher than that in the control group yet insignificant. • HOMA-IR at baseline was an independent risk factor for the changes of VAT mass in patients with PCOS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most studies have shown beneficial effect of bariatric surgery (BS) on serum levels of sex hormones. OBJECTIVE A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to examine the magnitude of possible changes in levels of sex hormones following BS. SETTINGS Electronic databases were searched, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase, for relevant studies. METHODS The heterogeneity of the studies was examined by χ2 tests and the degree of heterogeneity was estimated using I2 statistic. RESULTS The results of pooled analyses revealed that BS caused a significant increase in luteinizing hormone (LH), follicular stimulating hormone (FSH), total testosterone (TT), and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels and conversely, decreased dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and estradiol (E2) levels in males. For females, BS significantly increased LH, FSH, and SHBG levels and conversely, decreased androstenedione (AE), E2 and TT levels. Additionally, the level of progesterone (P), prolactin (PRL), free testosterone (FT) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) showed no significant changes in patients who had undergone BS. CONCLUSION BS changed most sex hormones levels including LH, FSH, TT, SHBG, AE, DHEA, and E2. It seems that BS is able to exert substantial impacts on sex hormones levels and as well as sexual function, however, larger, and more precise trials are required to specifically focus on these claims.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery is effective for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), while the exact mechanism remains unclear. OBJECTIVES To assess the impact of bariatric surgery on PCOS patients and further explore the possible mechanism. SETTING A meta-analysis. METHODS We searched PubMed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, and Embase to identify relevant studies published before November 2020. RESULTS Twenty-one studies met our inclusion criteria, and we identified 552 patients with PCOS study. Results showed that the prevalence of preoperative PCOS, menstrual irregularity, hirsutism, type 2 diabetes (T2D), hypertension, infertility, and depression significantly decreased after bariatric surgery. Levels of total testosterone, fasting insulin, and luteinizing hormone (LH) decreased and estradiol increased, while levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and LH/FSH did not show significant changes during the 3-month follow-up. There were decreases in testosterone and fasting insulin levels when the postoperative follow-up time was 6 months or ≥12 months. Levels of fasting blood glucose and triglycerides were significantly reduced after 6 months or ≥12 months of bariatric surgery. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) significantly improved ≥12 months after bariatric surgery. CONCLUSION Symptoms of PCOS and related complications are significantly alleviated after bariatric surgery. In addition, we found a significant improvement on anomalous secretion of gonadotropins, glucose metabolism, and lipid metabolism in patients with PCOS after bariatric surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Weight loss is the mainstay of management for women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). However, lifestyle and dietary modifications, and gastric banding have generally poor long-term efficacy. We aimed to investigate whether gastric bypass is equally efficacious in women with or without PCOS. METHODS We performed a matched case-control study of primary Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery in women with PCOS (cases, n = 30) compared to women without PCOS (controls, n = 60) matched for baseline age, body mass index (BMI) and presence or absence of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Data shown represent mean values. RESULTS At 24 months after surgery the 90 participants (age 36.1 years) experienced significant reductions in BMI (53.4 vs. 34.9 kg/m2, p < 0.0001), glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in 21 women with T2D (68.2 vs. 38.7 mmol/mol, p < 0.0001) and blood pressure (BP) in 29 women with hypertension (144/91 vs. 129/83 mmHg, p < 0.01), while obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) resolved in 88.0% of the 25 affected patients. Women with PCOS compared to women without PCOS achieved equivalent reductions in percentage total weight loss (32.6% vs. 32.6% at 12 months and 34.8% vs. 36.1% at 24 months) and HbA1c (T2D subgroup; 38.3 vs. 41.6 mmol/mol at 12 months and 37.0 vs. 39.6 mmol/mol at 24 months) and comparable improvement in BP (hypertension subgroup) and resolution of OSA (87.5% vs. 88.2% at 24 months). CONCLUSION In women with PCOS with morbid obesity, gastric bypass resulted in significant weight loss and metabolic outcomes similar to women without PCOS.

Abstract
For many patients, weight loss is a first-line measure recommended to reduce comorbidities associated with polycystic ovary disease. When lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise are insufficient at achieving this goal, the addition of weight loss medications has proven effective for many patients. In patients with severe obesity, bariatric surgery is often used when other methods have been unsuccessful and has shown promising results for improving health and fertility in patients with polycystic ovary disease.

Abstract
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in reproductive-age women that causes infertility. Obesity and insulin resistance are closely tied to the pathophysiology of PCOS. Current first-line treatments include lifestyle modifications, hormone modulators, and laparoscopic ovarian drilling, but little attention has been given to bariatric surgery as a viable option. A detailed review of the literature regarding the outcomes of obese women with PCOS after bariatric surgery is necessary. All studies were found in the PubMed database, limited to females and humans, and selected due to relevancy and quantitative data. Bariatric surgery promotes significant weight loss within one year, which is associated with amelioration of insulin resistance, hyperandrogenism, menstrual irregularity, and ovulatory dysfunction. Surgery successfully mediates the regression of PCOS and promotes successful pregnancy. Thus, we recommend the consideration of bariatric surgery as part of the main treatment considerations in obese patients with PCOS. However, more focused and comprehensive research with better study designs are still needed in the future to investigate PCOS and bariatric surgery.
