Abstract:

Inflammation is involved in the occurrence and development of polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, gynecological tumors and other diseases, and can also affect male reproductive function. Diet plays an important role in regulating chronic inflammation. Dietary inflammation index (DII) as a new clinical dietary assessment tool is used to assess the overall inflammatory potential of an individual′s diet. DII divides the daily diet into proinflammatory diet and anti-inflammatory diet. Studies have shown that the proinflammatory diet is associated with the increased risk of reproduction-related diseases, while the anti-inflammatory diet is associated with the decreased risk of reproduction-related diseases. The proinflammatory diet and its components can increase the level of inflammation in the body, promote the occurrence of chronic endometritis, polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer and other diseases. At the same time, this kind of diet can also affect the concentration of male sperm and total motility, resulting in infertility. To review the relationship between DII and reproductive diseases and the clinical mechanism, and to put forward the dietary suggestions from the prevention and control of diseases, will provide us a reference for clinical treatment and nursing.
