Prostaglandins Inhibitors and Vitamins

As we mentioned in previous articles during the last stage of the menstrual cycle normally a layer of endometriosis lining in the inside of the uterus is expelled, known as menstruation blood but instead some of the endometriosis tissues grow somewhere in the body causing endometriosis. Endometriosis also reacts to hormonal signals of the monthly menstrual cycle, building up tissue, breaking it, and eliminating it through the menstrual period. Since Prostaglandins Inhibitors help to release temporary menstrual pain, they cause mild depletion of certain types of vitamin in our body. In this article, we will discuss the relationship between prostaglandins inhibitors and vitamins.


1. Vitamin A
This is unknown that prostaglandin inhibitors may have caused the deficiency of vitamin if intake. Women with heavy flow due to endometrial implants and adhesion normally have low level of vitamin A causing damage of epithelial tissue, weaken immune system and increase tension of nervous system. Intake of beta carotene from plants is the best choice.

2. Vitamin B complex
Vitamin B complex are water soluble containing variety of B vitamins, each of them have it unique properties and its chemical is not related to each other but acts inter related in a group. Study shows that women taking prostaglandin inhibitors medicine have a low level of vitamin B12 in their body, but it is unknown that this type of deficiency is caused directly by aspirin or by poor absorption of digestive system as resulting of gastro intestinal side effects.

3. Vitamin C
Prostaglandin inhibitors medicine causes the loss of vitamin C in urine. Women taking the steriodal anti inflammation medicine during menstrual cycle should consider supplement their daily diet with vegetables and fruits containing high level of vitamin C.

4. Vitamin E
Vitamin E is always consider as arterial friendly vitamin, because of its ability to maintain the integrity of cell membranes, the small vessels walls and red blood cells. Study shows that intake vitamin E together with certain type of prostaglandin inhibitors medicine may increase the risk of bleeding that is no no for women with heavy flow during menstruation.

5. Folic acid
Folic acid not only depleted for women taking oral contraceptive pill as well as certain type of prostaglandins inhibitor medicine. Blood test shows that women taking the pill have low level of folic acid in their blood as resulting of increasing the loss folic acid through urinary process.
