| Abstract (English): |
Persian Medicine, which flourished in the Islamic Golden Age (9th to 12th century AD), considers the human body a unified whole whose organs are in constant interaction and equilibrium with each other. The skin is one of these interdependent organs that play an important role in protecting internal organs, and as an excretion route, it can expel substances that are not consumed by the body. Alternatively, the uterus, a vital organ in pregnancy, excretes excess body material during menstruation to maintain a woman’s health. This narrative study discussed the importance of aligning the structure and function of these two organs based on the main textbooks of Persian Medicine, especially those written during this historical period. Likewise, electronic databases were used for investigating related articles The skin and uterus are two excretory organs. When the secretion of excess material through menstruation is physiologically or pathologically impaired, the body transfers these substances to the skin as the organ associated with the uterus. Thus, the clinical manifestations of some skin diseases can be a sign of imbalance in the function of the uterus and its related organs. Consequently, the structural and functional similarities of both organs can provide a new guide in the approach to their participatory diseases in the integration of Persian and conventional medicine.

| Abstract (Croatian): |
Perzijska medicina, koja je procvjetala u zlatnom dobu islama (od 9. do 12. stoljeća), smatra ljudsko tijelo jedinstvenom cjelinom čiji su organi u stalnoj interakciji i ravnoteži jedni s drugima. Koža je jedan od tih međusobno ovisnih organa koji imaju važnu ulogu u zaštiti unutarnjih organa te kao sustav za izlučivanje može izlučivati tvari koje tijelu nisu potrebne. Alternativno, maternica, vitalni organ u trudnoći, izlučuje višak tjelesnog materijala tijekom menstruacije kako bi održala zdravlje žene. Ova narativna studija govori o važnosti usklađivanja strukture i funkcije tih dvaju organa na temelju važnih udžbenika perzijske medicine, posebno onih napisanih tijekom ovoga povijesnog razdoblja. Jednako tako, elektroničke baze podataka korištene su za istraživanje članaka. Koža i maternica dva su organa za izlučivanje. Kada je izlučivanje viška tvari menstruacijom fiziološki ili patološki poremećeno, tijelo te tvari prenosi na kožu kao organ koji je povezan s maternicom. Dakle, kliničke manifestacije nekih kožnih bolesti mogu biti znak neravnoteže u funkciji maternice i srodnih organa. Posljedično, strukturne i funkcionalne sličnosti obaju organa mogu pružiti nov pogled u pristupu njihovim participativnim bolestima, uz integraciju perzijske i konvencionalne medicine.
