Why does the fetal membrane remain after normal delivery?

Generally, the fetal membrane will be discharged automatically after delivery. The patient does not need to worry during this period. Along with the discharge of the fetal membrane, a lot of residue will also be discharged. Therefore, during this period, the patient should take cleaning measures. After the residue is discharged, medical care should be carried out and appropriate cleaning should be carried out. This will help improve hygiene and prevent the growth of bacteria and cause other diseases. So how can fetal membranes remain if you choose to give birth naturally?

How can fetal membranes remain if you choose natural childbirth?

The reasons for retention of fetal membranes after normal delivery include the growth defects of the fetal membranes themselves and weak material, which can easily lead to rupture of the fetal membranes, resulting in retention of fetal membranes; uterine cavity infection can cause inflammation of the fetal membranes, and the fragility of the fetal membranes can lead to retention of fetal membranes; it can also be common in that endometritis before pregnancy has not been cured, resulting in excessive adhesion of the fetal membranes to the uterine wall during pregnancy, so that the fetal membranes and the embryo cannot be expelled together during delivery, resulting in retention of fetal membranes.

Therefore, when choosing natural delivery, after the embryo is delivered, you must carefully check whether the fetal membrane is intact. If there is a lot of incomplete fetal membrane remaining, the doctor can remove the fetal membrane manually. If there is a lot of abnormal uterine bleeding, pregnant women can also give intramuscular injections of oxytocin and feed more breast milk to promote uterine contractions, thereby promoting the expulsion of fetal membranes. B-ultrasound examination can be performed 5 to 7 days after giving birth to determine how much remains in the uterine cavity.

If there is a lot of residue and vaginal bleeding, such pregnant women must undergo uterine curettage to prevent uterine cavity infection. If the pregnant woman has less residual blood, she can be observed dynamically, paying attention to vaginal bleeding, and if necessary, another color Doppler ultrasound examination can be performed two weeks after delivery.
