Pain is a common feeling most of us experience and the thought of taking aspirin may be a usual response. But what are we truly putting into our bodies? This paper examines the chemical structure of aspirin and investigates how it is produced in a laboratory. Furthermore, this paper studies the effects of aspirin on pain receptors and the impact on a male baby in the womb during a woman’s pregnancy. To research this topic, I read multiple books, articles, and medical publications. Through this research, I learned that Aspirin is created through a chemical synthesis of salicylic acid and asetic acid. Also, it blocks the creation of cyclooxygenase which inhibits the prostaglandin synthesis. Due to the structure of aspirin, the painkillers are dissolved in the liver, which can cause permanent damage. Along those lines, aspirin’s chemical structure looks like phthalates, which makes it an endocrine disruptor that works well. Endocrine disruptors can cause the male fetus to develop testicular malfunctions if his mother consumes aspirin. Overall, aspirin can have negative effects on the body, but it may also serve as a beneficial inhibitor for minor pain. Thus, aspirin has the potential to affect a person in a variety of ways with a single function. Whether the reason for taking aspirin is an anti-inflammatory, an anti-paretic, an analgesic, or a blood thinner, aspirin has the same function: to stop the production of cyclooxygenase, block the prostaglandin synthesis, and inhibit pain impulses. All in all, aspirin is a noteworthy reliever for mild pain, but a woman should avoid ingesting it while pregnant.
