Postpartum uterine contractions

Introduction Postpartum uterine contraction: uterine volume shrinkage, loss of lochia to disappearance is an indicator of uterine recovery, most of the maternal uterus contraction is normal, but if you get a group of things in the small abdomen, it may be uterine contraction, and sometimes the uterus volume is not reduced It is because there is a long uterine fibroid. These need to go to the hospital for examination. If it is true uterine contraction, the main danger is that it will cause postpartum hemorrhage, which is really a place to pay attention.

Differential diagnosis

1, uterine contraction fatigue: at the beginning of labor, the uterine contraction strength is not primary, but in the process of progression to a certain stage, uterine contraction is secondary.

Clinical manifestations: Under normal circumstances after labor, uterine contractions are generally 2 to 5 minutes apart, duration of 40 to 50 seconds, the uterus is hard. The interval of contraction fatigue is extended to 6 to 7 minutes or longer, the duration is shortened, no more than 30 seconds, and the contraction force is weakened, and the hardness of the touch palace is insufficient.

2, uterine contraction is too strong: If the head basin is not called, it can accelerate the progress of the labor process within 3 hours, resulting in emergency production. Soft birth canal damage, postpartum hemorrhage, neonatal asphyxia, etc.
