Phytonutrients for Gynecological Diseases: Mechanisms and Health Benefits

Dear Colleagues,

Phytonutrients—naturally occurring bioactive compounds in plants—have shown great promise in supporting women’s reproductive health and in the prevention and treatment of gynecological diseases. Found in fruits, vegetables, teas, herbs, and spices, these compounds exhibit diverse biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hormone-modulating effects. Recent studies highlight their potential roles in managing conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), infertility, menopause, and gynecological cancers (including endometrial and breast cancers).

This Special Issue, “Phytonutrients for Gynecological Diseases: Mechanisms and Health Benefits”, invites original research articles, clinical studies, and comprehensive reviews that investigate the molecular mechanisms, therapeutic effects, and health benefits of phytonutrients in gynecological disorders.
