We investigated whether vitamin E could help with primary dysmenorrhea, a common cause of pelvic pain for young women. In our study, 278 girls aged 15-17 took either vitamin E or a placebo before and during their menstrual periods.
Results showed that those taking vitamin E experienced significantly less pain and shorter pain duration compared to the placebo group. There was also a notable reduction in menstrual blood loss. This suggests that vitamin E may be a beneficial option for managing menstrual discomfort.

In a double-blind clinical trial, we examined the impact of vitamin E on pelvic pain for 120 women suffering from primary dysmenorrhea. Participants were divided into two groups, with one receiving daily doses of 400 IU of vitamin E, while the other group received a placebo.
Our findings showed that both groups reported reduced pain; however, those taking vitamin E experienced a more significant drop in pain severity. This indicates that vitamin E could be a safe and effective option for treating menstrual pain in women.

We explored how effective vitamin E is in treating primary dysmenorrhoea through a randomized placebo-controlled trial. In this study, 100 girls aged 16-18 were divided into two groups; one received 500 units of vitamin E daily, while the other took a placebo.
Treatment started two days before menstruation and continued for three days. Both groups experienced relief from pain, but those taking vitamin E reported more significant improvements.
This suggests that while both treatments help, vitamin E may offer an added benefit in managing menstrual pain.

Alleviates headache pain
This brand of vitamin E is the only one I’ve experienced genuine benefits from. It effectively reduces or eliminates headache pain. I believe they were hormonal headaches, and this particular brand surprisingly soothes the pain, which was an unexpected bonus.

Relieves chest pain
I selected this brand of vitamins for their excellent composition and was pleased with the quality. As a vegan, all the ingredients are suitable for me, and the capsule size is convenient. The vitamins are easy to consume. I take folic acid for 15 days of my cycle and vitamins E and C on the other days. Thanks to taking these vitamins, the pain in my chest has subsided, indicating some benefit.

Vitamin C and E reduce pelvic pain
We examined the effects of vitamin C and E on pelvic pain in women with endometriosis through a triple-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Sixty women aged 15-45 participated, receiving either the vitamin combination or a placebo daily for eight weeks.
Our results revealed noteworthy decreases in pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and dyspareunia for those who took vitamins, supporting their potential in managing endometriosis symptoms. While oxidative stress markers showed changes, total antioxidant capacity did not significantly decline.

We explored the impact of antioxidants, specifically vitamins C and E, on pelvic pain associated with endometriosis. Analyzing data from five randomized controlled trials, we found that patients receiving vitamin supplementation reported significant reductions in chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and dyspareunia compared to those on placebo.
This suggests that these vitamins may play a beneficial role in alleviating symptoms for those suffering from endometriosis-related pain. Overall, antioxidant supplementation presents a promising avenue for management of this challenging condition.

We examined how antioxidant vitamins, including vitamin E, may help reduce pelvic pain related to endometriosis. Our systematic review analyzed studies that used randomized controlled trials, focusing on pain scores assessed by the Visual Analogue Scale.
While the findings suggest that vitamin E supplementation might lower pain severity and improve overall well-being, the evidence does not conclusively support significant benefits for all individuals.
However, these antioxidants could still be considered as part of a comprehensive approach to manage pelvic pain associated with endometriosis.
