Symptoms of vulva fissures

In fact, nowadays in life, everyone doesn’t pay much attention to their own health. They always go to work and stay up late. Even pregnant people are no exception. They only start to get really anxious when the delivery situation appears. Let us now understand the manifestations of vulvar cracks.

(1) The fundus of the uterus descends. Generally, for first-time mothers, the fundus of the uterus begins to descend about 3 weeks before delivery. This is because the fetus's presenting part is gradually descending. At this time, the pregnant woman feels that her upper abdomen is much more relaxed and her breathing is smoother than before, but her lower abdomen feels heavy and there is a feeling of falling. Some pregnant women experience back pain, leg swelling, increased urination frequency, and increased vaginal secretions.

(2) Irregular uterine contractions. About 2 weeks before delivery, pregnant women will feel discomfort in the lower abdomen and often experience irregular uterine contractions at night, that is, the abdomen becomes tight and hard, but the duration usually does not exceed 30 seconds and often disappears in the early morning. Paroxysmal uterine contractions can also cause regular abdominal pain, which occurs every 10 to 15 minutes at first and then gradually shortens.

(3)Seeing blood. 24 to 48 hours before delivery, a small amount of bloody mucus will be discharged from the vagina of the pregnant woman, commonly known as "seeing blood". This is a more reliable sign that delivery is about to begin. It is because the dilation of the cervix separates the fetal membrane near the internal opening from the uterine wall, causing the capillaries to rupture and a small amount of bleeding to be discharged mixed with cervical mucus.

(4) Water breaking. This is when the fetus descends, the presenting part breaks the fetal membrane, and the amniotic fluid flows out. The pregnant woman suddenly feels water flowing out of the vagina, sometimes more, sometimes less, but continuously. Labor usually occurs within 24 hours after rupture of membranes.

The above article gives you a detailed introduction to the manifestations of vulvar fissures. I believe you have a preliminary understanding of it. Therefore, in daily life, if such a situation occurs, you should go to the hospital in time to prepare for delivery.
