Article Synopsis
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a leading cause of infertility due to a lack of ovulation, and obesity worsens these reproductive issues; bariatric surgery might improve fertility rates but hasn't been vigorously tested against other treatments.
- This study involved 80 women with PCOS and obesity, who were randomly assigned to either undergo bariatric surgery (vertical sleeve gastrectomy) or receive behavioral and medical therapy to compare their impact on ovulation rates over a year.
- The study aimed to track the number of confirmed ovulatory events through regular progesterone testing, with results pending since participants were recruited between February 2020 and February 2021, and some participants dropped out of the trial.
