“…), (Portman et al 2019) [41] . For that reason, one of the proposals for a healthy therapy was the implementation of phytoestrogens found in a specific plant called Pueraria mirifica which is a medicinal herb from Thai origin; within local folklore "facilitated the rejuvenation" of both men and women; however, its studied effects are related to the regeneration of atrophic vaginal tissue and the increase of vaginal artery circulation (Warinsiriruk et al 2022) [42] which could help to treat dyspareunia.…”

Since ancient times, plants have been used to treat human diseases in folk medicine, including sexual dysfunctions in both men and women, although it is still a taboo subject in many countries. In different cultures and populations, plants have also been used for another lesser-known purpose: the stimulation of eroticism, which not only promotes health but also increases people self-steem. This use remains hidden for various reasons, among which are: a) the shame of talking about it, b) the urgency of addressing a sexual dysfunction, and mainly c) the lack of adequate and concise studies that deal with this topic professionally and from a human sense. Valuable information, however, is implicit in various studies on treatments for sexual dysfunction. In this study a systematic review was carried out on native plants in databases in which the improve of symptoms of sexual dysfunction in women and men favored health, well-being and increased eroticism. Also, a pilot field study was carried out in traditional markets in Mexico City and Puebla City in Mexico to learn about the plants used by the general population to improve sexual health and the willingness to talk about this issue.

A menopausa é uma fase natural da vida da mulher marcada por uma série de sintomas, como ondas de calor, insônia e irritabilidade. Sendo assim, a fitoterapia tem ganhado destaque, oferecendo uma alternativa mais natural e com menos efeitos colaterais em comparação à terapia hormonal tradicional. Assim, este estudo objetiva evidenciar a eficácia da fitoterapia no tratamento coadjuvante dos sintomas da menopausa. Foi realizada uma Revisão Integrativa da Literatura, com busca sistemática no PUBMED e na BVS, utilizando os Descritores em Ciências da Saúde em inglês "Phytotherapy", "Menopause" e "Treatment" combinados pelo operador booleano AND. Os resultados destacaram que plantas como isoflavonas de soja, trevo-vermelho, cimicifuga, agnocasto, ginkgo biloba, camomila, flor de calêndula, chá-verde, além de outras, aliviam os sintomas comuns da menopausa, como suores noturnos, ondas de calor, vermelhidão facial, ansiedade e desconforto vulvovaginal pelo ressecamento. Observou-se ainda que a maioria das mulheres optou por iniciar a terapia complementar por iniciativa própria, sem orientação profissional. Conclui-se que a fitoterapia para mitigação dos sintomas menopáusicos é uma excelente terapia complementar que pode ser administrada em conjunto com o tratamento hormonal, não possuindo reações adversas severas.

Vulvovaginal atrophy, characterized by the thinning of vaginal mucosa typically resulting from reduced estrogen levels, is frequently exacerbated by oncogynecologic treatments such as chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, radiotherapy, or surgery. This condition significantly impacts the quality of life for cancer survivors, leading to persistent discomfort, heightened infection risk, and negative effects on sexual function and self-esteem. Despite being a relatively common complication, vulvovaginal atrophy is not always discussed before the start of treatment. Treatments typically mirror those used for natural menopause; however, efficacy and safety data specific to this population are limited due to the exclusion of these patients from clinical trials. A major safety concern is the risk of hormone-sensitive cancer recurrence associated with estrogen therapy, which drives a preference for non-hormonal alternatives. Newer treatments, such as laser therapy, radiofrequency, and vaginal injections, show promise with minimal side effects and hormone-independent mechanisms, though efficacy data varies, highlighting the need for further research. This narrative review explores the epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis, and management of vulvovaginal atrophy after the treatment for oncogynecologic disorders.
