Özet
tudy Objectives: This planned research aimed to identify the conditions for women’s health in
women who prefer vegan diets. Method: The study consists of vegan women and the sample consists of a total
of 150 women who agreed to participate in the study. The data was collected through a questionnaire consist ing of 34 questions. Associations and vegan women were reached out via social media. Results:The average age
of the participants was 28.96±8.50 and 33.3% were married. The average year in which women continue to
eat vegan is 3.29±5.25. 62% of vegan women stated that their menstrual periods were painless, 87.3% stated
that their menstrual periods were regular, and 75.3% stated that they did not have any gynecological diseases.
The most common complaints in vegan women are stress and anxiety (27.1%), continuous discharge (27.1),
depression (25), polycystic ovary syndrome (20.8), urinary tract infection (20.8), and fibroids (12.5). 18% of
vegan women had been diagnosed with anemia, of which 18.8% used anemia treatment. Conclusion: It was
found that vegan women did not have many complaints in terms of gynecology while existing complaints
were similar or even lower in terms of disease rates seen in the total population. The study group’s high level
of education and awareness and regular health checkups are among the factors affecting the results. The low
vegan diet averages of the women covered in the study and the fact that a greater number of women were out
of reach show the limitations of the study
