for the longest period of not having menstrual, i think im not going to tell you here as i am a little worried most of you would get shocked furthermore it's part of my privacies =)
i've consulted both doctor and traditional Chinese doctor before, and i had been consumed chinese medicine for 2 years. while the western doctor said im still young and need not to consume on hormone pill as it has side effect. people always said in a joking way that i could save a lot on the sanitary pad. but they never knew how much my mum had spent on my chinese medicine. i consulted the traditional chinese doctor twice a month, each time buying RM68 of medicines. you do the math.
until lately i chose to stop my chinese medicine and try another option.
evening primrose oil a.k.a EPO
actually back in A-levels mum has already bought me one but you know, lazy lazy.... i was always lazy and didnt bother to touch it. until recently i know that i couldnt just put this matter aside 'cause im already 22! i need to have a healthier body. so i started to have this EPO pill once a day. miraculously, my menstrual was a least more frequent this year though still not once a month =)
some of the Benefits of EPO :
- A rich natural source of GLA which can help maintain hormonal balance ( gamma-linoleic acid aka GLA is often recommended to help ease the discomforts of PMS
- To prevent cancer and heart disease
- Helps maintain healthy skin, hair and nails
- Helps keep joints supple and flexible
There are actually a lot more, google if you are interested
However, there are still some subtle side effects too
- Possible bloating i faced this !
- Gastrointestinal upset and this too D:
- It's not recommended for pregnant women as it may alter the composition of breast milk
This EPO supplement is for sale in guardian yeah.if you are facing menstrual irregularities,you might try this out.and i've heard the Efamol is a good brand too =)
