Study Question: Does the concurrent type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) aggravate the features and prognosis of PCOS in patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (SG)?
Summary Answer: For patients undergoing SG with obesity, concurrent T2DM is associated with aggravated metabolic but milder reproductive features of PCOS and did not attenuate the resumption of regular menstruation for up to 1 year after surgery.
What Is Known Already: Women with T2DM have an increased risk of PCOS. However, whether concurrent T2DM further increases the disease burden and treatment difficulty of PCOS in patients with obesity requires further investigation.
