Question from Teri Melton: Do any of your patients have success with omega-3 fatty acids such as fish oil or flaxseed oil?
- Answer —Mindy Goldman, M.D.: I have found that some patients find this beneficial, particularly the flax, and I think this is probably a function of the phytoestrogen content. I have not seen as much success with the omega-3 fatty acids.
