Uncoordinated uterine atony

Uterine atony is divided into two different names: inflexible uterine atony and flexible uterine atony. Their symptoms and manifestations are certainly different, and the corresponding treatment methods are also different. If you want to solve the problem of inflexible uterine contractions. We should understand its symptoms, what are the inflexibility and manifestations of uterine atony? Let's learn about it with the editor below!

Inflexibility and uterine atony Main manifestations:

Inflexible uterine atony (hypertonic uterine atony) The optical rotation of uterine contractions is reversed, and the climax point of uterine contraction comes from one or more places in the uterus, and the pattern is irregular. When the uterus contracts, the fundus is not strong, but the middle or lower area is strong. The endometrium cannot relax completely during the chronic period of uterine contraction, which manifests as inharmonious uterine contraction. This type of uterine contraction cannot dilate the cervical opening or lower the presenting part, and is an ineffective uterine contraction. Pregnant women experience persistent lower abdominal pain, refuse to press, and become restless, leading to dehydration, hypocalcemia, gastrointestinal bloating, and urinary retention; the fetal circulatory system is obstructed and intrauterine distress may occur.

Examination: tenderness in the lower abdomen, unclear fetal position, irregular fetal heartbeat, slow or no dilation of the cervical opening, slow or stagnant descent of the presenting part, and delayed labor progress. Generally, when approaching labor, the abdomen will become hard and pain will occur intermittently. The pain and drowsiness during labor are not necessarily caused by inflexibility. It may be false labor. When you enter the delivery stage and have periodic uterine contractions, the main manifestation is that the middle or lower part of the uterus contracts strongly, while the bottom of the uterus is not strong. The duration will gradually increase, and the intervals will gradually shorten! If you experience intermittent hardening and pain in the abdomen, it is recommended that you go to the hospital immediately for a pregnancy check-up, pay attention to the uterine contractions, cervical dilation and presenting part descent, and detect the fetal heartbeat to prepare for delivery.

The solution to inflexible uterine atony is first to regulate uterine contractions and restore their normal regularity and rotation. If inflexible uterine contractions cannot be corrected or are accompanied by signs of fetal distress or cephalopelvic disproportion, a cesarean section should be performed. If the inflexible uterine contractions are resolved and become flexible uterine contractions, but the uterine contractions are still weak, they can be resolved in the same way as flexible uterine atony. Uterine contractions mean that labor is about to begin, but they cannot guarantee a successful delivery.

Uterine contraction force revolves around the entire process of childbirth. It is the key driving force to ensure the normal development of a healthy pregnancy and delivery. Therefore, in the case of childbirth, uterine contraction force is more critical. In order to have a successful delivery, it is necessary to ensure that the force of uterine contraction can support the entire delivery process.

Characteristics of uterine contraction force:

1. Uterine contractions have a rhythmic feel and will not be affected by human factors. Therefore, the occurrence of rhythmic, periodic uterine contractions is a key sign of delivery. The rhythm of uterine contraction goes from weak to strong, and this rhythm will last for a period of time, and then weaken until it disappears. This is the chronic phase, which is what we often call the time interval. In the chronic stage, there is no pain, so you can move normally.

2. The interval between uterine contractions is gradually shortened from once every few hours at the beginning to once every ten minutes later. However, if the pain persists for a long time, the delivery process will be accelerated, and the cervix will gradually open at this time. Uterine contractions will change with the process of delivery, and the discontinuity of uterine contractions is also more important. Regular, intermittent, and intense uterine contractions will ensure the success of the delivery process and the safety of the baby.
