Broad Meaning

Objective: Women’s health has a broad meaning and its dimensions include physical, mental, social, cultural and spiritual health and is influenced by socio-political, economic and biological factors. Due to the fact that today traditional medicine, complementary medicine, nutrition therapy, and the use of functional foods have a special place in maintaining health and preventing and treating diseases in humans and given that women’s health plays an important role in family and community health, this study aims to investigate the influence of honey on women’s reproductive health. Methods: This research is a narrative review of studies conducted on the effects of honey on women’s reproductive health published in English or Persian articles from 2005 to 2020. A search was conducted on EMBASE, PubMed, Medline, SID, MedLib, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases. Based on the inclusion criteria, initial search yielded 76 articles. After removing duplicates, 25 were remained. Of these, 13 articles were finally selected for review after applying inclusion/exclusion criteria. Results: Studies showed that honey was effective in improvement of cesarean section wound and episiotomy, and in reduction of primary dysmenorrhea pain, amount/duration of menstrual bleeding and the gap between two menstrual periods, nausea, vomiting, headache, menstruation pain, and labor progress. It was also reported that honey was effective in treating candida, a vaginal infection. Conclusion: Honey can be used as a complimentary medicine alone or along with medication therapy for the prevention and treatment of many diseases of women.

Abstract We examine the sharp expansion in availability of the emergency contraceptive pill in Chile following legalized access through municipal public health care centers. We study the period 2002–2016 and a broad rollout of the emergency contraceptive pill occurring between 2008 and 2011. By combining a number of administrative data sets on health outcomes and pharmaceutical use, and using event-study and difference-in-differences methods, we document that this expansion improved certain classes of women's reproductive health outcomes, notably reducing rates of abortion-related morbidity. These improvements were greater in areas of the country where the rollout of the emergency contraceptive pill was more extensive. We also document some evidence that refusal to provide the emergency contraceptive pill upon a women's request was linked with a worsening in reproductive health outcomes. These results point to the importance of contraceptive access as a determinant of women's reproductive health and well-being and relates to a growing body of work documenting the importance of women's autonomy as a determinant of health.
