Definisi & Makna dari "inflammation

What is "inflammation"?

Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury or infection, characterized by redness, swelling, heat, and pain in the affected area. It is a crucial part of the immune system's defense process, helping to isolate and remove harmful substances, and start the healing process. Inflammation can be acute, lasting for a short period as the body deals with an immediate threat, or chronic, lasting for a longer time and potentially leading to various health issues if not properly managed. Common causes of inflammation include infections, injuries, autoimmune diseases, and exposure to irritants. Treatment depends on the cause and may involve rest, medications, and other therapies to reduce symptoms and promote healing.
