Therapeutic carbohydrate restriction diets have been becoming increasingly popular over the years, resulting in dramatic weight loss and an improvement in metabolic disorders. Obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes are the risk factors for many gynecologic morbidities such as uterine leiomyoma, endometrial polyps, and polycystic ovarian syndrome. There is evidence suggesting that the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease is similar to that seen in many causes of abnormal uterine bleeding. We aim to explain how cardiovascular disease risk factor reduction with the use of therapeutic carbohydrate restriction may prevent and potentially treat these gynecologic disorders.
近年来,治疗性碳水化合物限制饮食越来越受欢迎,导致体重显著下降和代谢紊乱得到改善。肥胖、胰岛素抵抗和糖尿病是许多妇科疾病的危险因素,如子宫肌瘤、子宫内膜息肉和多囊卵巢综合征。有证据表明,心血管疾病的发病机制与许多异常子宫出血的原因相似。我们旨在解释如何通过使用治疗性碳水化合物限制来降低心血管疾病风险因素,从而预防和潜在治疗这些妇科疾病。
