Improved Erectile Function After Bariatric Surgery: Role of Testosterone and Other Factors

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The prevalence of obesity has risen dramatically worldwide. Beyond its metabolic implications, obesity profoundly impacts sexual health, particularly in males, with erectile dysfunction emerging as a prevalent and distressing comorbidity. Studies show that bariatric surgery alleviates erectile dysfunction. Patients suffering from obesity have lower testosterone levels, which increase after weight-loss surgery. This study aims to investigate the relationship between erectile dysfunction improvement, weight loss and hormonal changes after surgery.
