Feel so cheated again after reading some of the articles about Evening Primrose Oil with PCOS and Endometriosis. The Sinseh at Ying Chuan actually told me that EPO is not suitable to take for my condition now and ask me to confirm with Dr Christopher Chen which I have forgotten to do so.
Endometriosis
Evening primrose oil is perhaps best known for its ability to ease symptoms of several female problems, including pre-menstrual syndrome, endometriosis and fibrocystic breasts. During menstruation, the body releases the inflammatory kind of prostaglandins. But by interfering with the production of these prostaglandins, the GLA in evening primrose oil may help alleviate menstrual cramps. Because some women with PMS have trouble converting linoleic acid into GLA, they may benefit from the added GLA in evening primrose oil. Sufferers of PMS have been found to have decreased levels of GLA, and this may explain the effectiveness of evening primrose oil in treating PMS symptoms. The supplement may also lessen pre-menstrual breast tenderness, and the fatty acids contained in evening primrose oil are believed to reduce breast inflammation for women suffering from fibrocystic breasts. It is also thought to aid in the absorption of iodine, which is often decreased in women suffering from this condition.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome who are trying to conceive are willing to do just about anything for the joyous occasion of seeing a positive pregnancy test. Luckily, there are some fairly simple ways to get started treating your PCOS without any serious drugs or side effects. Keep in mind that PCOS should be treated and without treatment serious long term health risks may occur. However, in the short run, there are a few ways to deal with the hormonal imbalance that may help rectify the PCOS and help you conceive.
