Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Women’s health issues have been widely discussed in recent years. Chronic gynaecological disorders can affect the pubertal population, starting from precocious puberty, through hyperandrogenism with acne and hirsutism, and young-to-middle-aged women through infertility and pregnancy-related diseases, cancer, inflammatory and infectious diseases, as well as symptoms associated with menopause. The results of recent studies have undoubtedly proven that excessive caloric intake, simple carbohydrates, refined fats, and micronutrient deficiencies have the potential to initiate, exacerbate, or alleviate signs and symptoms of gynaecological disorders. Nutritional and dietary recommendations have become an integral part of the treatment of chronic conditions.
Gynaecological disorders can be accompanied by metabolic disorders, including reduced cellular insulin response, hyperglycemia, diabetes and hyperandrogenism; in addition, eating habits may exacerbate symptoms and promote the occurrence of gynaecological disorders and may affect the occurrence of metabolic disorders later in life of the foetus. Moreover, both malnutrition and excess body have been shown to cause gynaecological symptoms.
This Special Issue of Nutrients invites reviews and meta-analyses covering micronutrient supplementation, dietary recommendations, the effects of food restriction and fortification, malnutrition and obesity on the occurrence of gynaecological disorders, their course, and clinical outcomes including foetus health. It includes studies from basic research, the impact of dietary components and recommendations on the course of gynaecological disorders, health outcomes, and prognosis.
