Curcumin and Its Nanoformulations: Exploring Therapeutic Potential in Female Reproductive Health

Abstract

This review explores the potential therapeutic benefits of curcumin and its nanoformulations for treating common reproductive 
health problems in women, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). 
Curcumin is a bioactive compound sourced from turmeric that possesses analgesic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. 
These characteristics position it as a strong candidate for helping to relieve symptoms related to various health conditions. 
Nanoformulations enhance curcumin’s bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy, allowing for better absorption and targeted action. 
Additionally, the review discusses the role of curcumin in reducing toxicity within the female reproductive system, highlighting its 
impact on hormone regulation and cellular health. Overall, this review highlights the importance of conducting additional research 
to thoroughly understand the mechanisms behind curcumin and its nanoformulations in female reproductive health, suggesting they 
may provide valuable synergistic approaches to complement conventional treatments of female reproductive disorders.
