how it can affect healing??
ReplyDeleteThe answer to your question goes back to Pathophysiology.
DeleteDamage to many tissues leads to increased PGE2 synthesis via enhanced COX-2 expression. This contributes to inflammation and pain by vasodilation, increased vascular permeability and sensitisation of pain fibre nerve endings to the nociceptive action of bradykinin, serotonin and other mediators.
However, in the later stages of repair following tissue damage, COX-2-derived prostanoids may contribute to the processes of wound healing.
So if you are inhibiting COX by using NSAIDS or steroids, you are impairing wound healing!
