Abstract:

Our aim in this study was to objectively observe the effect of onion juice on menstrual disorders (irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, menorrhagia, hypermenorrhea and hypomenorrhea) in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). A method that affects these women's quality of life without side effects has an essential effect on infertility as a global problem.We conducted a prospective randomized analysis of age-matched and body mass index (BMI)-matched women between April 2019 and March 2020. The study population included 64 reproductive-aged women with PCOS. Data collection by questionnaire and blood samples was done before and after 15 days of onion juice use. There was a statistically significant association between before and after onion juice use in terms of High density lipoprotein (HDL), Low density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglyceride (TG) in case group (p<0.05). There was a statistically significant association between before and after onion juice use in terms of irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, and menorrhagia (p<0.05) in case group. According to the findings, menstrual disorders has decreased after 15 days of onion juice use. As a result, onion juice can be used to reduce the complications of PCOS for women.
