Objectives: The health conditions of women are broad, and range from pregnancy, gynaecological conditions to overall health/wellness. Ethnomedicinal investigation on plants used in the management of women-related health disorders was conducted in Bode herbal market, Ibadan, Southwestern Nigeria to further emphasize the role of herbal medicine in reproductive health. Methodology and Results: Ten herb sellers (all females; age range, 35 – 57; mean, 45.80; SD, 7.41) were interviewed in the local language (Yoruba) and their responses recorded. Recipes used in the management of arthritis, fibroid (uterine and menopausal), and obesity/overweight were documented. Thirty (38) plant species belonging to 24 plant families are profiled. The family Fabaceae had the highest number of species (n=7) while stem bark was the most frequently used (37%) plant part. Methods of preparations were mainly decoction and steeping of botanicals in alcohol. Administration includes taking one tot/half-a-glass cup, 2 (morning and night) to 3 times daily. Conclusion and Application of Findings: This study documents and further emphasizes the role of medicinal plants in female reproductive health. Although some of the plants reported here have been cited for the management of diseases such as skin infections and malaria/yellow fever, published reports on their use for women-related health disorders are limited. This research finds application in reproductive disorders in women and alternative approach to health care systems. These plants are presented for experimentation and scientific validation. Efforts should be made to conserve these plants, especially those that show promising bioactivity. Key words: Women, Arthritis, Fibroid, Obesity, Medicinal plant, Nigeria

Male Reproductive Health

A significant number of men are affected by reproductive health disorders; however, the level of awareness and education for some disorders is limited. Our aim was to explore the dynamics of community education activities being undertaken in Australia that address or include information on male reproductive health issues, to identify health promotion initiatives that help raise the awareness of male reproductive health disorders. A survey was distributed to medical practitioners, health services and community organisations across Australia to identify organisations providing male reproductive health information. Those organisations that had evaluated their activity were further analysed to determine if their focus was effectively providing education on male reproductive disorders. Of the 299 education activities reporting the inclusion of male reproductive health information, prostate cancer was the most commonly addressed health issue (55.5%). Only 89 activities (29.8%) had been evaluated by the education providers, to determine whether their aims had been met. Several factors were found to have an impact on the perceived success of education activities, including (i) the focus, but only for prostate cancer, prostate disease and testicular cancer activities (ii) method of delivery (face-to-face group presentations and one-on-one discussions), and (iii) location (remote areas). While the overall evaluation of community education activities focusing on male reproductive health is limited, several factors have been identified from this survey that may impact on the success of future male specific health promotion activities.

Introduction. Currently, the factors that affect male reproductive health are not well understood. The aim of study is to research the risk factors for male reproductive health disorders. Materials and methods. The study was an online test, the software of which is implemented using a specially developed data processing and storage scheme, as a separate page of the site. The study included questions related to marital status, level of education, lifestyle, a block of questions related to work, and also used standardized questionnaires: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), diagnosis of stress (A.O. Prokhorov), questionnaire on the symptoms of aging in men (SAM), international index of erectile function (IIEF-5). Results. The results of the study showed that every second man has signs of androgen deficiency, and every fourth man has erectile dysfunction, despite the fact that the majority of respondents are less than 45 years old. Conclusions. The relationship between the presence of stress, depression and androgen deficiency was revealed, which significantly increases the risk of male reproductive health disorders.
