High prostaglandins are harmful to women

When prostaglandins are released by the detached uterine wall cells, they immediately cause uterine contractions, which in turn cause menstrual pain. Prostaglandins not only have an impact on the uterus, but can also act on the stomach and intestines, causing diarrhea, so some women always have diarrhea during their first menstruation. So, what are the disadvantages of high prostaglandins for women? The following is a detailed introduction to the effects of prostaglandins on the female urinary system.

Prostaglandins are closely related to women. For example, the common menstrual pain in women is mostly caused by prostaglandins. Prostaglandins can also be found in the embryo during pregnancy and in the amniotic fluid of pregnant women. When a woman has her period, under the action of estrogen, the endometrium thickens, and prostaglandins are produced during the process of endometrial thickening.

1. Effect on hypothalamic-pituitary function: Prostaglandins act on the hypothalamic-pituitary or higher nerve centers, inducing the release of gonadotropin, and the secretion of gonadotropin has an effect on ovulation.

2. Effect on ovaries: It can promote uterine development, uterine and ovarian hormone secretion, induce ovulation, progesterone retention and melting process.

3. Contraceptive and anti-pregnancy effects: prostaglandins promote the dissolution of progesterone; increase the frequency of uterine contractions, which is conducive to pregnancy and embryo implantation; can promote the early death of test tube embryos and promote the expulsion of test tube embryos from the uterus.

4. Effect on the uterine muscle: The effect of prostaglandins on the uterine muscle varies depending on their type and uterine physiological conditions. Prostaglandin E can relax the non-pregnant uterine muscle and contract the pregnant uterine muscle; prostaglandin F can contract both the non-pregnant and pregnant uterine muscles.

5. Impact on the bilateral fallopian tubes: The bilateral fallopian tube mucosa contains a high concentration of prostaglandin F, which promotes the contraction of the bilateral fallopian tubes. Prostaglandin E inhibits its contraction. Prostaglandins regulate egg transport by influencing the activity of the fallopian tubes.
