Experts say bariatric surgery should be performed as a last resort for treating fertility in obese women. Scholars after several researches point out that weight reduction surgery helps to increase the fertility of women with obesity problem. Obese women have greater difficulty in getting pregnant, in addition to great risks of miscarriage and complications during pregnancy. Complications such as diabetes, high blood pressure as well as some types of cancer that have affected both the woman and her children. These risks can be reduced through bariatric surgery.

However, what is indicated is that these women try to lose weight in a healthy way , through exercise and adequate food, decreasing the amount of calories eaten daily. Medical specialists in the field point out that the only ways to reduce severe obesity are either a radical lifestyle change that provides significant results to a woman’s life or through bariatric surgery.

“Like any other surgery, bariatric surgery has a high risk of complications and a radical change in habits is necessary after the procedure.”

Prof. Balen also adds that the best thing to do is for women to reach their ideal weight in a healthy way so that they can get pregnant naturally. The surgery also helps women who suffer from the symptoms of PCOS ( polycystic ovary syndrome ) that completely affect fertility, decreasing ovulation and causing hormonal changes . But they warn that women who have undergone the procedure are at greater risk of premature birth and birth of small babies.
