Abstract

Objective. To estimate the current attitude towards the impact of obesity on reproductive function from the data available in the literature. Subject and methods. Literature sources dedicated to estimates of the prevalence of obesity in different countries of the world, to the current view on the mechanism by which obesity affects fertility, and to approaches to treating obesity are reviewed. Results. The present-day literature data favor experts’ predictions that obesity rate will keep rising. The close relationship between obesity and reproductive dysfunction determines the relevance of the problem. Current drug therapy assists in achieving weight management goals, but does not completely rule out abnormal eating behaviors. Conclusion. Sibutramine havingpleiotropic effects is the drug of choice in controlling body weight. The drug can affect energy balance and correct eating behavior. These can expect a high therapeutic effect and patient compliance.
