“…Additionally, a study by Hafner et al [152] revealed that 1 year after bariatric surgery most of the patients had better sexual interest, enjoyment, and frequency. More recently, Dallal et al [153] conducted a study with 95 patients undergoing gastric bypass surgery. On average, after a mean postoperative follow-up of 19 months, Brief Sexual Inventory scores improved in all areas (P < 0.0005) and the amount of weight lost predicted the degree of improvement in all areas of the survey (P < 0.002).…”

Introduction The general worldwide increase in metabolic syndrome (MS) among most populations may result in more individuals with sexual dysfunction. Aim To provide an update on clinical and experimental evidence regarding sexual dysfunction in patients with MS from both sexes and treatment modalities. Methods A comprehensive literature review was performed using MEDLINE with the MeSH terms and keywords for “metabolic syndrome,”“obesity,”“female sexual dysfunction,”“erectile dysfunction,”“androgen deficiency,”“weight loss,” and “bariatric surgery.” Main Outcome Measures To examine the data relating to sexual function in both men and women with MS, its relationship and the impact of treatment. Results The MS is strongly correlated with erectile dysfunction, hypogonadism (predictors of future development of MS), and female sexual dysfunction. Few studies have been addressed in the treatment of these dysfunctions in the special setting of MS, other than the observational effects on sexual function of individual risk factors correction. This can be a result of their understudied etiopathogeny. Nonsurgical weight loss has been shown to improve sexual function (with the mainstay on sedentarism prevention), whereas the efficacy of bariatric surgery in this respect, which has been suggested by some preliminary evidence, needs to be further confirmed by adequate clinical trials. Conclusion As the global incidence of MS increases, more individuals may experience sexual dysfunction and a systematic evaluation should be emphasized in this patient population, in order to identify those who are in need of intervention.

“…[21][22][23][24] Indeed, the reversal of risk factors for cardiovascular disease may actually improve erectile health and function. 26,27 Th erefore, cardiovascular exercise such as cycling may exert a protective eff ect on erections. Th e study demonstrated normalization of erectile function in one third of the obese men with ED, and the majority reported at least some degree of improvement in their function.…”

Bicycling is a popular means of recreation, transport, and fitness training for many people around the world, but questions have been raised about its threat to sexual function. This review summarizes some of the data on whether cycling is or is not an independent risk factor for erectile dysfunction and other sexual complaints. Space limitations will confine our discussion to men, although these problems are also important in women.
