Abstract

Background: Worldwide, the population explosion and unintended pregnancies pose serious health issues. The family planning program is a vital element due to reducing population growth. Demographic data and family planning in Indonesia report that contraceptive use rates are 93.66% for women and 6.34% for men. Men's participation in family planning programs remains low, with options limited to vasectomy and condoms. Limited contraceptive options may explain the low participation rate. WHO recommends traditional medicine as a cost-effective substitute for manufactured medicines. The primary ingredient in turmeric, Curcumin, has antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities. In both animal and human clinical trials, it has demonstrated a lack of toxicity. Little research has been done on how it affects the male reproductive. Objective: This article reviews the literature regarding the effects of Curcumin in Curcuma Longa on male fertility. Conclusion: Curcumin in Curcuma Longa causes noticeable changes in the male reproductive system that reverse when treatment is discontinued. Therefore, Curcumin may potentially control male fertility as a male contraceptive.

姜黄素,一种潜在的口服草药男性避孕药:一篇综述文章
背景:在世界范围内,人口爆炸和意外怀孕造成了严重的健康问题。计划生育方案是减少人口增长的一个重要因素。印度尼西亚的人口统计数据和计划生育报告显示,妇女的避孕药具使用率为93.66%,男子为6.34%。男性参与计划生育项目的比例仍然很低,只能选择输精管切除术和避孕套。避孕选择有限可能是参与率低的原因。世界卫生组织建议将传统药物作为具有成本效益的人造药物替代品。姜黄中的主要成分姜黄素具有抗病毒、抗菌、抗炎和抗癌活性。在动物和人类的临床试验中,它都显示出缺乏毒性。关于它如何影响男性生殖的研究很少。目的:综述姜黄中姜黄素对男性生育能力的影响。结论:姜黄中的姜黄素会引起男性生殖系统的显著变化,当停止治疗时,这种变化会逆转。因此,姜黄素作为一种男性避孕药,有可能控制男性生育能力。
