What are prostaglandins, and how do they affect the body? - #14771
I’ve been hearing a lot about prostaglandins in relation to pain and inflammation, but I don’t fully understand what they are or how they work. I know they’re related to hormones, but how exactly do they affect the body? What exactly are prostaglandins, and how are they produced in the body? I read that they play a role in processes like inflammation, pain, and fever—how do they cause pain during menstruation or injury? Can high levels of prostaglandins contribute to chronic pain conditions, and how do they interact with other hormones in the body? I also want to know how prostaglandins are regulated. Are there medications that help lower their levels to reduce pain and inflammation, or can lifestyle changes support the balance of prostaglandins naturally? If anyone has had experience with prostaglandins related to menstrual cramps or inflammation, what treatments helped reduce pain or improve your symptoms?
