We investigated the role of ferroptosis in chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS). By using an experimental model, we applied treatments with deferoxamine (DFO) and edaravone (EDA) to inhibit ferroptosis.
Our findings revealed that targeting ferroptosis may reduce inflammation, fibrosis, and mast cell activity, potentially easing pelvic pain associated with CP/CPPS. These results highlight a new pathway for treating this challenging condition, offering hope for improved management strategies.

We discovered that hormonal contraceptives, particularly long-acting systems like the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device, provide significant non-contraceptive health benefits.
These benefits include the treatment of pelvic pain, especially in cases related to endometriosis, as well as management of heavy menstrual bleeding and iron deficiency.
Research highlights that these contraceptives are effective options for addressing various gynecological disorders beyond birth control.

Iron patch offers similar pain relief
We explored the effectiveness of a heat patch containing iron chips compared to ibuprofen for alleviating primary dysmenorrhea. In our randomized controlled trial involving 147 students, we examined pain severity and emotional impact using a standardized questionnaire.
Although we found that the heat patch provided comparable relief to ibuprofen, the differences in pain severity were not significant. This suggests that while the heat patch is a viable option, it may not be markedly more effective than ibuprofen for managing menstrual pain.

Eased menstrual pain
13 people found this helpful
Since I began this iron supplement, symptoms of anaemia and menstrual pain have improved. My menstruation feels lighter, and I'm able to work without discomfort. However, without proper iron intake, constipation can occur. This iron remedy seems to be a good alternative to others I've tried.

I switched to this 18 mg iron supplement after experiencing stomach pain with previous iron tablets. So far, I have had no stomach discomfort or constipation, and my energy levels have significantly improved. This product is now essential in my routine, making me feel lighter and more comfortable without anxiety over outings. Cycling again brings joy without tiring me significantly.

Increased energy

I discovered that my minor ailments were due to iron deficiency, which has improved significantly since incorporating iron. Walking speed has increased, and I feel rejuvenated. I usually rely on medication for PMS, but now my menstrual flow is smoother, and I feel far more energetic and lighter.

Goserelin enhances hemoglobin but not pain
We aimed to understand the impact of adding goserelin acetate to iron treatment in premenopausal women facing iron-deficiency anemia due to uterine fibroids.
In this Phase III trial, participants received either goserelin with iron or just iron over 12 weeks, followed by surgery. While women given goserelin showed higher hemoglobin levels, we didn’t find a significant improvement in symptoms like pelvic pain.
Overall, while goserelin helped with blood levels, it didn't make a noticeable difference in alleviating pelvic discomfort.

Our study examined the effects of a lactoferrin formulation derived from cow's milk on menstrual symptoms in healthy women.
Conducted as a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, we enrolled thirty-five Japanese volunteers who received either the iron-lactoferrin complex or a placebo.
While our findings showed improvements in psychological symptoms related to menstrual distress, such as reduced MDQ scores, other measures—like pain and quality of life—did not vary significantly.
Notably, no side effects were reported, suggesting this treatment could help with psychological discomfort linked to dysmenorrhea.

This supplement effectively increases iron levels; my ferritin went from 21 to 57 within a month. I appreciate that it does not cause nausea, abdominal pain, or constipation. It is best taken between meals in the afternoon and should not be mixed with dairy products or other medications.

Cured period pain
1 people found this helpful
All women suffering from period pain and PMS should give this a go! It is often said that Japanese individuals lack iron. I tried several iron products, but my anaemia and haemoglobin levels did not improve. This chelated iron improved my anaemia remarkably in one month 😭 (haemoglobin rose from 9 to 15). It alleviated not only my menstrual pain but also the dreadful PMS, so I regard it as a miraculous supplement! I no longer feel irritable or lonely during PMS and am amazed every month at the sudden arrival of my period. I wish I had discovered it sooner; it’s far superior to the heme iron sold in pharmacies!

Dizziness relief

After using this for two months, it has greatly relieved my dizziness and menstrual pain. I recommend it; it’s gentle on the stomach and does not cause constipation.

Less cramping noted
1 people found this helpful
I highly recommend this for PMS. Women should start taking it a few days before their period along with primrose oil, as it has significantly reduced my cramping, pain, and heavy flow, which previously lasted for 8 days. Now, I experience minimal cramping on the first day, and my period lasts for just 5 days.

This capsule is easy to take, lacking the unique smell of iron. After drinking iron tea for over half a year, my severe menstrual pain has lessened considerably, allowing me to manage without painkillers. I highly recommend this to women!

I suffered from severe weakness during early pregnancy due to anaemia. After taking a double dose of iron, I quickly regained my energy. I continued during my pregnancy without experiencing another severe weakness; this supplement proved effective and gentle compared to others I've tried.

Helps with abdominal pain

Taking this iron just before or during my period aids with abdominal pain. Although it has a slight iron taste, swallowing it quickly with plenty of water resolves the issue. The capsule is also smaller compared to other foreign supplements.

I purchased this product to alleviate lower abdominal pain during my period. I started taking it a few days before and during menstruation, and it genuinely helped.
