7. Cervical Dilation

Before undergoing a hysteroscopy or similar procedure, it may be beneficial to use evening primrose oil.

In a small study, researchers provided participants with soft capsules of evening primrose oil at set intervals before cervical procedures. They discovered that cervical dilation occurred much more quickly and was less painful for the participants who took the oil. The researchers proposed that the oil may also make childbirth easier.
