NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – A weight loss surgery can improve the quality of a person's sex life, according to a recent study from the University of North Dakota.
According to JAMA Surgery, a study of more than 2,000 obese patients showed that surgery made them more sexually active.
The researchers analyzed the status of 2036 adults who participated in the treatment of obesity in US hospitals: the results revealed that 70% of women and 74% of men were not satisfied with their sex life before weight loss.
One year later, 56% of women and 49.2% of men reported a marked improvement.
About 60% of women and 67% of men complained of "sexual restrictions" because of their excessive weight before undergoing surgery. About five years after the procedure, 73.6% of women and 67.7% of men reported an improvement in their sex life.
The study showed that the effects were more pronounced among women: one-third of them reported an improvement in their sexual desires and their overall activity.
Surgical operations helped reduce patient depression, which improved sexual desire.
