Might: You can try it. Vitamin e is an antioxidant that does have other benefits and is known to decrease breast tenderness in women with fibrocystic breast tissue. If you take vitamin e and your periods get better, it was worth the try.

? dysmenorrhea: Do you mean dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain), or amenorrhea (absent periods)? For dysmenorrhea, taking vitamin e 200 iu twice daily or 500 iu daily starting 2 days before menstruation and continuing through the first 3 days of bleeding seems to reduce menstrual pain severity and duration and decrease blood loss in teenaged girls with primary dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain without anatomic cause).
