← Human Body & HealthWhich risk increases when endometrial Prostaglandin F2α reception malfunctions during menstruation cycles?
A)Heightened frequency of uterine contractions✓
B)Decreased menstrual phase blood flow
C)Increased shedding of endometrial lining
D)Reduced pain signal transduction intensity
💡 Explanation
Increased risk of dysmenorrhea (painful cramps lasting through the cycle) results because increased Prostaglandin F2α reception failure causes unregulated myometrial contraction signaling rather than signal termination, therefore increasing uterine contractions, rather than mitigating them, decreasing flow, or reducing shedding.
