Women's reproductive health and vitamin D
Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency is a pandemic of the 21st century. Vitamin D plays a major role in the regulation of reproductive processes in both women and men. Vitamin D receptors are present in ovarian tissue, endometrium, fallopian tubes, as well as decidual membrane and placenta. Vitamin D is involved in steroidogenesis. In the article, the role of vitamin D deficiency in the development of many gynecological problems, including polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, leiomyoma of the uterus, and dysmenorrhea is investigated.
