Over the course of the reproductive life span, it is common for women to experience one or more of the most common gynecologic conditions, including sexual dysfunction, polycystic ovary syndrome, fibroids, endometriosis, and infertility. Although current management guidelines often turn to the established pharmaceutical approaches for each of these diagnoses, the scientific literature also supports an evidence-based approach rooted in the paradigm of food as medicine. Achieving healthy dietary patterns is a core goal of lifestyle medicine, and a plant-forward approach akin to the Mediterranean diet holds great promise for improving many chronic gynecologic diseases. Furthermore, creating an optimal preconception environment from a nutritional standpoint may facilitate epigenetic signaling, thus improving the health of future generations. This state-of-the-art review explores the literature connecting diet with sexual and reproductive health in premenopausal women.
在整个生殖寿命期间，女性经历一种或多种最常见的妇科疾病是很常见的，这些疾病包括性功能障碍、多囊卵巢综合征、子宫肌瘤、子宫内膜异位症和不孕症。尽管当前的管理指南通常针对这些诊断中的每一种采用既定的药物治疗方法，但科学文献也支持一种以食物即药物为范式的循证方法。实现健康的饮食模式是生活方式医学的核心目标，类似于地中海饮食的以植物为主的方法对于改善许多慢性妇科疾病具有很大的前景。此外，从营养角度创造一个最佳的孕前环境可能会促进表观遗传信号传递，从而改善后代的健康。这篇前沿综述探讨了将饮食与绝经前女性的性健康和生殖健康联系起来的文献。
