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.

Improved cycle regularity
3 people found this helpful
Vitamin E, often termed the "beauty vitamin", was prescribed by my gynaecologist due to my cycle irregularities—soreness and duration inconsistencies sometimes lasting 20 to 29 days. After taking it, I noticed my skin improved as dry areas cracked less, and it feels more elastic and hydrated. The most significant change was in my cycle; it stabilised to 28 days, ovulation occurred between the 13th and 15th day, and I experienced reduced premenstrual pain.

No menstrual pain
After a test showed low levels of vitamin E, I began taking it and, after three months, I experienced no menstrual pain and no premenstrual symptoms whatsoever. I was so relieved I thought I might be experiencing irregular bleeding! I plan to continue taking it.

Eased critical symptoms
Hello! My gynaecologist recommended vitamin E to alleviate discomfort during critical days. I am very satisfied as it effectively reduced premenstrual symptoms such as pain in my chest, lower back, and stomach. I believe it worked in conjunction with other prescribed medications. Thank you for this excellent product!

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.

We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled trial to see if antioxidant vitamins, specifically vitamin E and C, could reduce pelvic pain in women suffering from endometriosis.
In our study with 59 women, we found significant improvements in chronic pain for 43% of those taking the antioxidants, compared to minimal changes in the placebo group.
Other symptoms like menstrual pain and pain during sex also showed reductions in the treatment group. Overall, our findings suggest that vitamin E can be a beneficial addition for managing endometriosis-related pelvic pain.

Our investigation centered on how vitamin E affects pelvic pain, particularly in women with endometriosis. The study revealed that pelvic fluid from these women contains high levels of oxidatively modified lipoproteins, which are linked to pain.
We noted that antioxidant supplementation, including vitamin E, may help reduce pain associated with this condition. Although our findings suggest potential benefits, the overall impact of vitamin E on alleviating chronic pelvic pain remains unclear and does not guarantee significant improvement for all individuals.
