Antioxidant Supplementation Reduces Endometriosis Related Pelvic Pain in Humans
Abstract
We had previously suggested that women with endometriosis have increased oxidative stress in the peritoneal cavity. In order to assess whether antioxidant supplementation would ameliorate endometriosis associated symptoms, we performed a randomized, placebo controlled trial of antioxidant vitamins (Vitamin E and C) in women with pelvic pain and endometriosis. Fifty nine women, ages 19–41 years, with pelvic pain and history of endometriosis and/or infertility were recruited for this study. Patients ...

A prospective cohort study of Vitamins B, C, E, and multivitamin intake and endometriosis
Abstract
Purpose—Diet is a potentially modifiable risk factor for endometriosis.

In this large, prospective cohort study, we examined the relation between intake of vitamins C, E, the B vitamins, and the use of multivitamin supplements and diagnosis of endometriosis.
Methods—Data were collected from women in ...

The Impact of Endometriosis across the Lifespan of Women: Foreseeable Research and Therapeutic Prospects
Introduction

the peritoneal cavity [9, 10]. The extent to which this disease process impacts the health of women surely relates to
inflammation within this anatomical/physiological compartment. As a corollary, it is plausible that systemic chronic
