ABSTRACT:
The reproductive system is a series of interactions and organ functions within an organism that are used for reproduction. Fungi and a lack of hygiene can cause diseases of the reproductive organs. This research aims to determine the utility and benefits of plants in preventing reproductive diseases. The research method used in this study is the Literature Review Article (LRA) method. The literature search was conducted using Google Scholar for publications from the past 10 years. Plants and herbs also have the potential to treat serious reproductive diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine has successfully addressed reproductive diseases with plants such as betle leaves, which have been tested against Candida albicans, the fungus causing vaginal discharge. Additionally, decoctions of binahong leaves, soursop, and rose tea can also be used as treatments for vaginal discharge. Green coconut water, moringa leaves, ginger, and cinnamon can help alleviate menstrual pain or dysmenorrhea, while cat's whiskers leaves are used to treat gonorrhea. Tomatoes can potentially improve sperm quality. In conclusion, herbal plants can be used to treat various diseases, but the evidence of their effectiveness is yet to be established due to the complexity of the required tests.
