Does cesarean section with anemia cause heavy bleeding?

Women are very likely to suffer from anemia due to nutrition problems during pregnancy. This is actually a common condition among pregnant women. However, anemia can easily cause problems during delivery. For example, some people suffer from internal bleeding due to anemia, which is a serious situation. So, is a cesarean section with anemia more prone to internal bleeding?

Mild anemia in pregnant women has no effect on delivery, but if the anemia is severe, the probability of postpartum bleeding during delivery will greatly increase.

Severe anemia can make pregnant women feel tired and unable to exert strength, which will increase the time it takes to deliver the baby. In addition, anemia can affect gastrointestinal motility, as well as uterine motility, making it easy to experience symptoms of uterine atony. Poor uterine contractions during childbirth are the main cause of postpartum hemorrhage. In addition, pregnant women lose a lot of blood during childbirth. If the anemia is severe at normal times, the original anemia will be aggravated during childbirth, leading to more dangerous conditions such as shock, coagulation disorder, and internal bleeding.

Therefore, if the pregnant woman has severe anemia, the probability of internal bleeding during delivery is relatively high. If a pregnant woman is found to have anemia during pregnancy, she must seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

Is it better to have a natural birth or a caesarean section?

According to scientific research, the benefits of choosing a natural birth are greater than those of a cesarean section. Therefore, if you are able to choose a natural birth, it is better to choose a natural birth than a cesarean section. However, since not every pregnant mother meets the conditions for natural delivery, for pregnant women with transverse fetal position, small pelvis or large fetus, it is best to choose cesarean section. In some emergency situations, cesarean section can also save the lives of mother and baby, so whether to choose cesarean section or natural birth should depend on the specific situation of the pregnant mother.

The benefits of cesarean section: to give birth to the baby more safely

1. When natural childbirth cannot be achieved for some reason, or natural childbirth may be dangerous to the pregnant woman or the newborn baby (fetus), such as transverse position of the fetus, fetal asphyxia, the fetus is too large to be delivered, or the pregnant woman suffers from pregnancy complications, a cesarean section is required. Performing a cesarean section can save the lives of both mother and baby.

2. The surgical indications for cesarean section are established, and anesthesia and surgical treatment are generally successful.

3. If an elective cesarean section is performed, the surgery can be performed before the uterus begins to contract, which can save the pregnant woman from pain.

4. If there are other diseases in the abdomen, they can also be treated together, such as combined uterine and ovarian tumors or subserosal uterine fibroids, which can be removed separately.

5. After cesarean section, if necessary, the pregnant woman can undergo ligation surgery at the same time.

6. For existing conditions that are not suitable for preserving the uterus, such as severe infection, incomplete uterine rupture, multiple uterine fibroids, etc., the uterus can also be removed.

7. As the safety factor of cesarean section has been improved in recent years, many pregnancy complications and pregnancy terminations have been decided by clinicians, which has reduced the impact of complications on maternal and child products.
