GLP-1 drugs, such as Wegovy containing semaglutide, were originally used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. However, new studies suggest that these medications may also improve fertility. Obesity negatively affects fertility in both men and women through hormonal imbalance, insulin resistance, and changes in reproductive hormone signaling. The RESTORE clinical trial found that semaglutide helps restore ovulation in women with polycystic ovary syndrome who achieved at least 10% weight loss. In obese men, GLP-1 drugs improved testosterone levels and sperm quality, with results better than testosterone replacement therapy alone. Studies showed no negative effects on reproductive hormones or sexual function.
