The reproductive system is a system of sex organs with a function to produce offspring.
In males, the reproductive system consists of the testes, where sperm is produced, and the penis.
In females, the structures of the reproductive system include the clitoris, labia minora, labia majora, and Bartholin's glands and internal structures include the vagina, uterus and the ovaries.
The most common cause of reproductive organ disease is an infection. In females, reproductive tract infections can affect the upper reproductive tract (fallopian tubes, ovaries, and uterus) and the lower reproductive tract (vagina, cervix, and vulva).
In males, most cases of infection are found on the penis, testicles, urethra or the vas deferens.
Some cases of reproductive diseases such as cancer have been found to affect reproductive functioning, leading to infertility.
Fertility is a natural capability to produce offspring. Infertility is a condition in which the couple fails to conceive after 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse or the female cannot carry the pregnancy to full term.
According to the statistics, over 5 millions couple alone in the U. S. and many times more in the world, because of unawareness of treatments, only 10% seeks help from a professional specialist.
Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belongings to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.
The herb has been used in traditional medicine as anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
With an aim to find a natural compound for the improvement of reproductive functioning, researchers
examined the effects of Curcuma longa and curcumin (CUR) on reproductive systems, by searching the detailed literature survey concentrated on the protective effects of C. longa and curcumin on the activity of the reproductive organs.
According to the results of the searching from PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Iran- Medex, injection of C. longa and curcumin decreased the risk of cancer and other malignant diseases in the reproductive system by inhibiting the production of the proinflammatory cytokines and promoting the proteins associated with anti-apoptosis in the cells of the reproductive system.
Furthermore, C. longa and curcumin exerted a protective effect on the activity of the reproductive organs through their antioxidant effects in normal cells.
Moreover, C. longa and curcumin also exhibited different reproductive effects depending on the doses and the type of cells.
In order to discover more information of CUR reproductive activity, researchers examined the effect of on testis and testosterone, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) in rats with establishing chronic variable stress (CVS).
A total of 21 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats included in the study were divided into three groups: 1) control, 2) CVS and 3) CVS+ CUR (100 mg/kg/day dissolved in 0.5 mL of olive oil). All of the animals in control, CVS, and CVS+CUR groups were sacrificed after 15 days.
Injection CUR showed a significant effect in protecting the reproductive functioning by inhibiting the change of normal range testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) serum levels and seminiferous tubule apoptotic cells in the CVS group compared to the control.
Based on the results, Dr. the lead scientist said, "Our findings propose that curcumin might have curative potential on the reproductive system function and its impairment. It's regulated by stress and reproductive-related hormones".
Taken altogether, turmeric and its bioactive compound may be considered remedies for the treatment of reproductive dysfunction, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of turmeric in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
