The most effective and decisive method of obesity treatment is bariatric surgery. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of bariatric surgery on menstrual cycle, the incidence of menstrual abnormalities, hyperandrogenism manifestation, and contraception use.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>It was a cross-sectional study of 515 pre-menopausal women who had undergone bariatric surgery between 1999 and 2017 in a bariatric center. Data was collected via anonymous questionnaire, and the questions covered a 1-year period before the surgery and the last year before questionnaire completion.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Before the surgery, 38.6% of the patients reported irregular menstruations in comparison with 25.0% after bariatric surgery (RR\u2009=\u20090.65; 95%CI 0.53\u20130.79). The mean number of menstruations per year did not differ before and after surgery (10.2\u2009\u00b1\u20093.9 vs 10.4\u2009\u00b1\u20093.3; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.45). There were no statistically significant differences in terms of prolonged menstruations, acne, and hirsutism prevalence. A total of 14.4% of patients before surgery reported estrogen-based contraception use in comparison with 15.0% after the surgery (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.95). There were no significant differences in the frequency of OC use (11.0% before surgery vs 13.6% 12\u00a0months after the surgery vs 11.5% at the moment of survey administration; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.46).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Bariatric surgery improves the regularity of the menstrual cycle in obese women in reproductive age. The lack of any changes in the combined hormonal contraception (CHC) use, especially OC, before and after bariatric surgery may be a result of a possibly low level of contraception counseling.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11695-020-04840-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,13]],"date-time":"2020-07-13T13:06:05Z","timestamp":1594645565000},"page":"4505-4509","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["The Impact of Bariatric Surgery on Menstrual Abnormalities\u2014a Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Anna","family":"R\u00f3\u017ca\u0144ska-Wal\u0119dziak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9873-8833","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pawe\u0142","family":"Bartnik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joanna","family":"Kacperczyk-Bartnik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Krzysztof","family":"Czajkowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maciej","family":"Wal\u0119dziak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,13]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"4840_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"341","DOI":"10.26444\/aaem\/97226","volume":"26","author":"J Krzysztoszek","year":"2019","unstructured":"Krzysztoszek J, Lauda\u0144ska-Krzemi\u0144ska I, Bronikowski M.
