Phytoestrogens: A Possible Agent for Controlling Fertility

Global Journal of Reproductive Medicine    Juniper Publishers Authored by:  Debjani Nath* Introduction Phytoestrogens are naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds. They are ubiquitous in human and animal diet. Around 300 plants from more than 16 different plant families have been identified with such a kind of compounds [ 1 , 2 ]. They are structurally and/or functionally bear a close similarity to mammalian estrogens and their active metabolites. Though they are much less potent but their mode of action is similar to 17p-stradiol. The estrogenic compounds are widespread in food. They are found in herbs and seasonings (garlic, parsley), grains (soybeans, wheat, rice), vegetables (beans, carrots, potatoes), fruits (date, pomegranates, cherries, apples), and drinks (coffee) [ 3 ].

Postpartum perineal pain and dyspareunia affect about 42% of primiparous women within the irst 2 weeks after vaginal delivery. Pain resolved in the majority of women within 2 months after delivery. Spontaneous second degree tears cause less perineal pain than episiotomies [ 4 ]. The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis whether the type of episiotomy (median versus mediolateral) can affect the degree of perineal pain and female sexual function over two years postdelivery or not.
