Abstract
Despite the abundant evidence that indicates a correlation between obesity and several urological diseases, there is a paucity of data regarding the effects of long-term weight loss on these conditions. However, the preliminary data indicate that the detrimental effects of obesity are reversible, and that long-term weight loss may decrease the incidence and severity of urological disease. Therefore, further research is needed to elucidate the impact of long-term surgical and medical weight loss on urolithiasis, lower urinary tract symptoms and incontinence, and sexual dysfunction.
