Does Withdrawal Of Primrose Oil Supplement Lead To Irregularity In Menstrual Cycle?

My doctor told me to take evening primrose oil, I missed taking it twice today, which I have only been taking it for a week, could stop taking it affect my periods? I am taking it instead of hormones since he said the only hormones I can take is what is given to people with parkinsons disease.

Hi dear!

Thanks for consulting the Physicians at HealthCare Magic. I have worked through your case thoroughly, and I can easily realize your health worries. Being your physician, I reassure you not to worry as things will settle down very soon.
Evening Primrose oil is a little effective for Nerve damage caused by diabetes and Osteoporosis (bone weakness). It has nothing to do with Menstrual cycles or Parkinsonism.
So menstrual irregularity is not due to missed dosage or withdrawal of primrose.

May you get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead. Please don't forget to give your valuable starred feedback to help me assist you in a better way. Go to my profile to write a Review regarding your experience with me here at my Virtual clinic.
