Millions of women worldwide experience benign reproductive disorders such as fibroids, endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome , adenomyosis, and dysmenorrhea. Over 65% of women suffer from fibroids at some stage in their lives, while PCOS has a prevalence of 20%, and endometriosis occurs in 10% to 15% of women across the world. Given the chemotherapeutic and antioxidant properties of EGCG, green tea could have clinical benefits in alleviating symptoms of benign gynecological disorders.
The review also discussed the processes through which catechins are absorbed in the intestine and processed in the intestines and the liver and the various practices that increase the bioavailability of catechins.
Uterine fibroids are highly prevalent in women of reproductive age. Depending on the fibroids' size and location, the symptoms can range from painful and prolonged menses to constipation, pelvic pressure, and frequent urination. Fibroids also affect fertility and in severe cases, require hysterectomies or myomectomies. The antifibrotic and anti-angiogenic properties of EGCG could reduce such benign tumors.
