Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A woman’s life is characterized by several endocrinological changes during transitional phases such as puberty, menarche, pregnancy, and menopause. There is growing evidence that dietary habits can help regulate these changes. Nutrition plays a key role in gynecological diseases such as leiomyoma, endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, menstrual disorders, and gynecological malignancies. Moreover, maternal nutrition during pregnancy can affect pregnancy and perinatal outcomes, and it can drive epigenetic changes, influencing susceptibility to several diseases. Therefore, obstetricians and gynecologists should integrate dietary recommendations into their patients’ daily care.
We welcome various contributions (original articles and reviews) on the following topics:
- Recent evidence supporting specific dietary recommendations for gynecological disorders and pregnancy complications;
- Current available recommendations for gynecological diseases and pregnancy complications and existing geographical differences;
- Specialist knowledge and training strategies for women’s nutrition in different transitional phases.
