Abstract

The purpose of this article is to review the effects of four commonly consumed beverage types-sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), caffeinated beverages, green tea, and alcohol-on five common benign gynecological conditions: uterine fibroids, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), anovulatory infertility, and primary dysmenorrhea (PD). Here we outline a plethora of research, highlighting studies that demonstrate possible associations between beverage intake and increased risk of certain gynecological conditions-such as SSBs and dysmenorrhea-as well as studies that demonstrate a possible protective effect of beverage against risk of gynecological condition-such as green tea and uterine fibroids. This review aims to help inform the diet choices of those with the aforementioned conditions and give those with uteruses autonomy over their lifestyle decisions.
