Metabolic Surgery Boosts Natural Conception Rates in Obese Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

A retrospective study conducted in Shanghai, China, investigated the impact of metabolic surgery on natural conception rates in women with infertility, obesity, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). After metabolic surgery, 64.8% of patients achieved natural pregnancies, while 35.2% remained unable to conceive naturally. Notably, women with a preoperative body mass index (BMI) under 27.0 kg/m² had a higher likelihood of experiencing natural conception, highlighting the potential benefits of metabolic surgery for fertility in women with PCOS and obesity.
