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.

Thyroid discomfort relief
2 people found this helpful
I consistently alternate between different brands, and a dosage of 200 is perfect. Although it's advised not to take selenium constantly, I've noticed my eyes have returned to normal, and the heaviness, pain, and pressure in my thyroid at night have subsided.

Rapid pain relief

This product was recommended on a thyroid forum. While it's early to determine its full benefits, I believe I may have experienced some. A week ago, I suffered from severe pain due to a fallen arch on my right foot. As this can be linked to low thyroid function, I decided to try this supplement. After just two days of wearing supportive insoles and taking selenium, my foot pain disappeared completely! The pain was once excruciating, prompting a visit to A&E. I was astonished to find I had no pain at all two days later. I hope selenium contributed to this swift recovery.

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 examined the potential of a multimodal therapy approach for treating chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) using the UPOINTS phenotyping system. Involving 914 patients, the study combined α-blockers, supplements like selenium, and antibacterial agents among others.
After a six-month course, we noted significant improvements in symptoms, with 77.5% of patients achieving a meaningful reduction in their pain scores. Notably, patients with the inflammatory subtype showed marked symptom relief compared to the non-inflammatory group. This suggests a tailored approach could effectively address the complexities of CP/CPPS.

Selenium enhances pelvic pain treatment
We evaluated the effects of a treatment combining Serenoa repens with selenium and lycopene, known as Profluss, against Serenoa repens alone for chronic pelvic pain in 102 men. After an 8-week period, both groups experienced symptom improvements. However, the Profluss group showed a significantly greater reduction in pelvic pain scores and additional benefits in other measures, suggesting that selenium can enhance treatment effectiveness for this condition.
While both treatments offered relief, Profluss was particularly beneficial. This finding indicates that adding selenium to standard therapy might be advantageous in managing pelvic pain.

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.

Less neck pain

Great for proper TSH and T4 function, selenium boosts immunity while protecting the thyroid. I noticed improvements in my TSH and T4 levels while taking this complex, even if Hashimoto's antibody levels only dropped slightly. It's an excellent alternative to hormonal drugs when thyroid function is poor. I feel energised, with less pain in my neck, and plan to take it alone in the morning for better absorption, aided by vitamin E.

Overall health improvement
For those dealing with hypothyroidism, this yeast-free selenium in a highly digestible form is vital. Paired with vitamin E, it significantly helps combat autoimmune thyroid conditions. I've been following a regimen of two months on and one month off, and I've experienced less muscle pain and better overall health as selenium lowers antibody levels and enhances my wellbeing.

Menstrual pain relief

This wonderful complex for women was suggested by a renowned blogger. I was amazed by the visible effects: my lips and palms stopped cracking and drying up, and the pain during my menstrual cycle lessened. Selenium is vital for all genders, and when paired with vitamin E, the efficacy is enhanced! I plan to continue taking it and recommend it if you are considering iodine as well, to improve absorption.

Digestive issues resolved
I had to stop taking this selenium VE product because it caused substantial stomach aches akin to premenstrual discomfort. Once I ceased its use, I felt fine again. My doctor explained that reactions can vary among individuals.

We focused on the effects of a dietary supplement combining several natural ingredients, including selenium, on chronic pelvic pain in men with Category IIIA prostatitis.
Patients taking this supplement showed significant reductions in inflammation and pain, as evidenced by lower white blood cell counts in seminal fluid and improved pain scores.
These findings suggest that selenium, along with other nutrients, may play a beneficial role in alleviating pelvic pain associated with chronic prostatitis.

We sought to understand how a mineral-vitamin complex, specifically Selzinc-plus, may help treat chronic abacterial prostatitis, a condition often linked with pelvic pain. In a study involving 47 men, we divided them into two groups: one received standard therapy, and the other received additional Selzinc-plus for two months.
While standard therapy showed effects, the antioxidant treatment significantly enhanced these benefits on symptoms. Notably, though the overall antioxidant system improved, no significant changes were observed in leukocyte counts. Our findings suggest that this antioxidant approach may offer added relief for those suffering from pelvic pain.
