We explored the effects of omega-3 fatty acids from Clupeonella grimmi fish oil on dysmenorrhoea through a clinical trial involving 36 young women. Participants were split into two groups; one received fish oil while the other received a placebo.
After three months, those taking fish oil reported significantly less pain, with visual analogue scale scores showing a marked improvement. Notably, there was also a reduction in low back and abdominal pain, and less reliance on ibuprofen.
Overall, omega-3 fish oil appears to effectively reduce pelvic pain associated with menstrual cycles.

We explored the effectiveness of omega-3 fatty acids in easing the symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea among young women. In a double-blind crossover study, participants took omega-3 supplements or a placebo over six months.
The results showed a noticeable reduction in pain intensity with omega-3 treatment. Women experienced less severe symptoms and required fewer ibuprofen tablets to manage their pain compared to when they were on the placebo.
This indicates that omega-3 fish oil can be a beneficial option for relieving pelvic pain.

We examined the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on dysmenorrhea, or painful periods, in adolescents.
In a study involving 42 girls, participants were divided into two groups: one received fish oil for two months, followed by a placebo, while the other had the reverse.
Results showed a noteworthy reduction in pain after taking fish oil, indicating that omega-3 supplements can effectively alleviate menstrual pain.
Therefore, integrating omega-3s into one's diet could enhance comfort during painful periods for teens.

Cyst reduction
1 people found this helpful
Game changer for my Endo Girls. This supplement provides a good dosage of EPA and DHA. The capsules aren't the smallest, but they work for me. I have endometriosis and my doctor advised taking Omega 3. After taking these for 3 months, my gynaecologist couldn’t find the cyst I had for 3 years. The sharp pelvic pain during and before my period is almost gone, and I believe it is due to the anti-inflammatory effect of these Omega 3 pills as I didn’t change anything else in my diet. I will keep taking these!

We examined how omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids affect pelvic pain, particularly in dysmenorrhea, through a thorough review of existing studies.
Our analysis involved twelve studies with nearly 900 women, focusing on daily doses ranging from 300 to 1800 mg over two to three months.
While results indicated a significant reduction in pain and analgesic use, the quality of studies varied, leaving some questions about the specific effects and mechanisms of omega-3s.

Omega-3 and vitamin E effective
We set out to understand how omega-3 fish oil and vitamin E supplements could help with primary dysmenorrhea, a common issue among women. In this study, we randomly assigned 100 university students to groups receiving either omega-3, vitamin E, a combination of both, or a placebo.
After treatment, both omega-3 and vitamin E showed promising results in easing menstrual pain compared to the placebo. Interestingly, those who took both omega-3 and vitamin E experienced even greater relief. This suggests that these supplements can be effective alternatives to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for managing menstrual discomfort.

Great product! I noticed improvement in my lower back pain and joints from the first pill. If you need omega-3 fatty acids, this might be the best option. The only drawback is the large size of the pills, but I have no difficulty swallowing them.

We delved into the relationship between diet and conditions like endometriosis and dysmenorrhoea through a systematic review of 23 studies.
Among the findings, we noted a significant link between the consumption of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids and a reduced risk of endometriosis. Moreover, fish oil intake appeared to help ease dysmenorrhoea symptoms. However, overall dietary recommendations remain limited and mixed for other food types.
This suggests omega-3 fish oil may play a beneficial role, yet further research is needed to solidify these findings.

We delved into the effects of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) on primary dysmenorrhea, a common pain condition among women. Our research involved a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, assessing the quality of each study.
While we found that omega-3 fish oil may offer a mild reduction in dysmenorrhea severity, its effectiveness varies. Interestingly, lower doses seemed to work better, and its benefits diminished as daily intake increased. Additionally, older women experienced less pain relief from n-3 PUFAs compared to younger counterparts.
