Common menstrual problems include:
Dysmenorrhea (painful periods), characterized by cramps in the abdominal region cause by uterine cramps.
Menorrhagia (excessive menstrual flow) which is often associated with abdominal pain and may be so severe as to interfere with normal life.
Amenorrhea (scanty or absent periods) common in the pubescent and menopausal years but is also associated with weight loss, stress, nutritional deficiencies and hormonal imbalances.
What you can do to help
Vitamin B6 taken twice daily can help to prevent period pains. Also take one 50 mg vitamin B complex tablet daily.
Magnesium will help with period pains and should be taken at 200 mg daily.
Evening primrose oil and fish oils both at 500 mg per day can reduce period problems including heavy periods, pain and cramping.
Take iron at 5 mg daily (more if you tend to loose a lot of blood).
Take zinc at 15 mg to help in cases of heavy periods.
Take vitamin A (as beta-carotene) and vitamin B6 for heavy periods.
Bioflavonoids can help to balance the hormone levels and regulate the menstrual cycle. Take as part of a good vitamin C with bioflavonoids supplement.
Deficiencies of zinc and vitamin B6 can result in the absence of periods.
