    Abstract Background: Dysmenorrhea and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) are common periodic and frequent complications in women of reproductive age that can negatively affect health and quality of life. The present study examined the effects of curcumin on the severity of dysmenorrhea and PMS symptoms.
    Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was conducted by searching databases such as the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science from inception to January 2023. Article screening was performed using Endnote ver. X8 (Clarivate). Review Manager (RevMan ver. 5.3; Cochrane) was used for the quality assessment and meta-analysis. A total of 147 studies were screened, of which five were finally selected for quantitative and qualitative analyses. The studies were conducted between 2015 and 2021, and a total of 379 participants with a mean age of 23.33±5.54 years had been recruited in these studies.
    Results: The meta-analysis showed that curcumin consumption could significantly reduce the severity of dysmenorrhea (mean difference, -1.25; 95% confidence interval [CI], -1.52 to -0.98; three studies; I2=31%) and the overall score of PMS (standardized mean difference, -1.41; 95% CI, -1.81 to -1.02; two studies; I2=0%).
    Conclusion: The reduction in the severity of PMS and dysmenorrhea has been attributed to curcumin's anti-inflammatory and antidepressant activities. Although the findings suggest that curcumin may be an effective treatment for reducing the severity of PMS and dysmenorrhea, further research with a larger number of participants from various socioeconomic levels and a longer duration of treatment is needed to evaluate the effective dose of curcumin.

    Abstract Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a widespread endocrine disorder among fertile women and may be induced by nutritional deficiencies. In this study, we assess the impact of selenium supplementation (SS) on biochemical markers in women with PCOS. To gather relevant literature, we searched the Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Embase, and MEDLINE databases from inception up to July 24, 2022. Subsequently, we included all published full-text randomized clinical trials examining the effects of SS versus placebo on biochemical changes in women with PCOS. Review Manager 5.3 was used to collect and analyze data and assess the risk of bias. Seven articles, comprising 413 women, were ultimately involved in the study. According to the results, SS could increase the level of quantitative insulin sensitivity check index [standardized mean difference (SMD)=0.34, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.04∼0.65], total antioxidant capacity (SMD=0.89 mmol/L, 95% CI=0.52∼1.26), and glutathione (SMD=1.00 μmol/L, 95% CI=0.22∼1.78). Conversely, SS could decrease triglyceride, cholesterol, fasting plasma glucose, insulin, and the homeostasis model of assessment-insulin resistance levels compared with the placebo. Furthermore, there were no significant differences regarding sex hormone-binding globulin level, testosterone level, malondialdehyde, and body mass index between the two groups. In addition, the results suggest that SS improves biochemical markers in women with PCOS and thus is recommended for treating biochemical disorders among these women in addition to standard treatment.

    Abstract Background: Gestational diabetes is the most common medical complication in pregnancy, and the psychosocial health of women suffering from this condition affects their adherence to treatment and self-efficacy. However, since it is not possible to design interventions dealing with all of these needs, the aim of this study was to prioritize the psychosocial supportive needs of women with gestational diabetes.
    Materials and methods: This was a modified Delphi design study involving 22 experts who were selected using purposive and snowball sampling methods. The study was conducted between April 2021 and June 2021. First, the psychosocial needs of diabetic pregnant women were extracted through a qualitative study involving interviews with multidisciplinary specialists and diabetic pregnant mothers (22 participants) and a systematic review of reputable scientific databases. Throughout the two Delphi stages, the questionnaire was classified, quantified, and analyzed.
    Results: Based on the results of this study, the following are the top priorities when addressing the psychosocial needs of mothers with gestational diabetes: paying attention to and identifying the mother's worries and anxiety, husband and family support for diabetic pregnant women, the inclusion of specialized nutrition counseling services in mothers' treatment plan, timely education of mothers about diabetes and its complications, and proper nutrition for diabetic mothers.
    Conclusions: The priorities of the supportive needs obtained in this study can be used to design interventions aimed at promoting psychosocial health, reducing stress and anxiety, and improving medication adherence in women with gestational diabetes.

    Abstract Background and hypothesis: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a very common and distressing problem that affects women's quality of life. This systematic review aimed to investigate the association of the dimensions of the genital hiatus and levator hiatus at rest and Valsalva with POP.
    Methods: The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Scopus, Embase and Web of Science were searched on 25 April 2020. All data were analyzed using Review Manager 5.3.
    Results: Of the 1288 papers reviewed, 21 (n = 5145: 2909 women with POP and 2236 controls) were considered for meta-analysis. Compared with the normal pelvic floor group, the urogenital hiatus size in the POP group was significantly higher at rest (mean difference: 0.49; 95% CI: [0.43, 0.55], P < 0.00001) and at Valsalva (mean difference: 0.79; 95% CI: [0.70, 0.89], P < 0.00001). Also, the levator ani hiatus size in the POP group was significantly higher at rest (mean difference: 0.52, 95% CI: [0.25, 0.78], P < 0.0001) and at Valsalva (mean difference: 1.01; 95% CI: [0.73,1.28], P < 0.00001) compared with that in the normal pelvic floor group.
    Conclusion: This systematic review showed that the sizes of the urogenital hiatus and levator ani hiatus and area of the levator hiatus in the POP group were significantly higher than those in the normal pelvic floor groups in both positions (rest or Valsalva maneuver). Also, in the POP group, the levator hiatus length at rest was significantly lower than that in the Valsalva maneuver.

    Abstract Introduction and hypothesis: Urinary incontinence (UI) is one of the most serious problems during pregnancy and after delivery. It can influence the quality of life and cause psychological problems that lead to depression and decreased self-esteem. We aimed to investigate the maternal, obstetrical and neonatal risk factors of urinary incontinence 3 to 12 months after childbirth.
    Methods: The Cochrane Library, Medline, Science Direct and Web of Science were searched for studies published from the inception of the databases up to December 2019, including any observational full-text papers. All data were analyzed using Review Manager 5.3. Of 338 articles reviewed, 20 studies were considered for meta-analysis.
    Results: The results of our study showed that vaginal delivery in contrast to cesarean section (OR = 3.74, 95% CI: [2.71, 5.15], P < 0.00001), UI in pregnancy (OR = 5.27, 95% CI: [3.40, 8.17], P < 0.00001), episiotomy (OR = 1.23, 95% CI: [1.05, 1.45], P < 0.01), perineal tear > grade 2, instrumental delivery in contrast to cesarean section, epidural or spinal anesthesia, maternal age, pre-pregnancy BMI and neonatal birthweight have a direct relationship with UI.
    Conclusions: This study confirmed that urinary incontinence during pregnancy and vaginal births had the strongest relationship with postpartum urinary incontinence. Also, the maternal upright positions during labor did not reduce the likelihood of urinary incontinence. The awareness of this issue helps find effective strategies to reduce the likelihood of female urinary incontinence.
