The LAP-BAND and Sexual Function
Saturday, June 20th, 2009
Sexual dysfunction that commonly occurs in morbidly obese men, is changed after weight loss surgery according to a new study.
“Sexual dysfunction should be considered one of the numerous potential reversible complications of obesity.” the study concluded.
The study estimated that a morbidly obese male had the same sexual function as someone who was 20 years older. By reduction of weight, this function was able to return in a number of men. The study, published in the Journal of The American College of Surgeons, showed that men who lost 2/3 of their excess weight had a significant improvement in their sexual function.
