Patient's question:
I had a close friend before who wanted to have a child with her husband, but now, after more than two years, they still haven't had any children. She went for a thorough check-up, and I want to ask if high levels of prostaglandins in women are related to infertility?Doctor's answer:
Women with excessively high levels of prostaglandins are prone to experiencing menstrual cramps, which can lead to excessive contractions and spasmodic tightening of the uterine smooth muscles, causing menstrual cramps. Treatment suggestions include taking ibuprofen, indomethacin, or oral contraceptives. It generally does not affect pregnancy. Since you haven't been pregnant for over two years despite having normal sexual activity, it's recommended to check the condition of your fallopian tubes to see if there are any blockages. You can also monitor the development of follicles during ovulation. For women with prostaglandin issues, timely treatment can help reduce the frequency of symptoms.
