The woman's body suffers several hormonal changes for the preparation of pregnancy. Thus, estrogen and progesterone act in response to fertilization, or not. If there is no implantation, hormonal levels decrease, increasing the concentration of prostaglandin (PG) through action of cyclooxygenase enzyme. The PGF2± and PGE2, heavily produced during menstruation, are responsible for part of …
The PGF2± and PGE2, heavily produced during menstruation, are responsible for part of the endometrial contraction, causing severe uterine pain, known as dysmenorrhea. Depending on the intensity, cramps may be controlled by the use of anti-inflammatory drugs, blocking prostaglandin synthesis. However, this kind of therapeutic option produces side effects. In this sense, the use of phytothe…
