Abstract

Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women which affect fertility. Clomiphene citrate is used as first-line treatment for this disorder, which is associated with some complications and therapeutic resistance. Objective: In this research, we compare the effectiveness of Ginger with clomiphene on sexual hormones such as Luteinizing hormone (LH), Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estrogen and progesterone in order to treat PCOS effectively with fewer side effects. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 63 adult female rats (170-200 gr) were studied and divided randomly into 9 groups as control (not received any interventional substance for 60 and 89 days), sham (were given distilled water and ethyl alcohol intraperitoneally daily for 60 and 89 days), and 7 experimental groups receiving estradiol valerate (PCOS inducing agent, intramuscular) alone and with 100 mg/kg clomiphene or different doses of Ginger extract (175 and 350 mg/kg) orally daily for 60 and 89 days. Sexual hormones were analyzed and compared in different groups. Results: Our results showed that in the PCOS-induced group, LH and estrogen concentration increased while progesterone and FSH concentration decreased remarkably (p<0. 05) as compared to control group. Furthermore, in groups receiving clomiphene and Ginger extract, we demonstrated significant (p<0. 05) improvement in hormonal secretion as compared to the PCOS-induced group. Clomiphene, compared with the lower dose of Ginger extract, had a better improving effect on balancing sexual hormones in PCOS. Moreover, Ginger extract at higher doses has better effects in improving PCOS. Conclusion: As the long-term administration of Clomiphene citrate has some side effects, the use of Ginger as a herbal medicine without any side effects at high doses can be an effective and good alternative in improving PCOS.
