Obese men who undergo weight loss surgery can experience a number of health benefits from their efforts. Among them, bariatric surgery boosts testosterone levels, according to the findings of a joint study at University of Alberta and McMaster University in Canada.<\/p>\n
Numerous studies have provided evidence that obesity has a negative impact on a man\u2019s testosterone levels, sexuality, prostate health, and overall health. Low testosterone, for example, is associated with erectile dysfunction, low sperm count, loss of sex drive, and various symptoms of male menopause (andropause<\/a>).<\/p>\n Obesity also has an impact on male fertility. For every 20 pounds a man is overweight, the odds of male infertility increases by 10 percent.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n In this new study, researchers evaluated data from more than 1,000 patients who participated in 28 studies that examined the impact of bariatric surgery on male sex hormones or sperm properties conducted between 1998 and 2018. Overall, the experts noted:<\/p>\n In another recent study, although smaller, Brazilian investigators noted the pre- and postsurgery results of 29 men who underwent bariatric surgery and those of 29 controls. Within six months of surgery, total testosterone and weight were significantly improved.<\/p>\n Spanish researchers conducted a similar study in 20 severely obese men. Within two years of bariatric surgery, the men experienced increases in total testosterone and free testosterone and declines in fasting insulin and leptin (hormone associated with hunger control).<\/p>\n Losing weight is just one way to increase a man\u2019s low testosterone levels. A few other lifestyle choices can benefit your T levels as well.<\/p>\n Calderon B et al.
