Il peso di essere padre: quando il girovita mette KO la fertilità maschile
摘要
This review analyses the impact of obesity on male fertility, highlighting how excess adipose tissue disrupts the hormonal axis and spermatogenesis, thereby reducing semen quality. Conversely, weight loss, particularly achieved through targeted dietary modifications and low-calorie diets, can improve semen parameters. A partially comparable but somewhat uncertain result is observed when considering the effects of bariatric surgery and weight-loss medications on male fertility. Weight management thus emerges as a fundamental component in the treatment of male infertility.
