Premonition of premature rupture of membranes

Women often encounter some unexpected events during pregnancy, so many pregnant women are more careful. If some abnormal symptoms occur, they will go to the hospital for a check-up to see if there is any problem with their body. Pregnant women may experience rupture of membranes in the late or middle stages of pregnancy. What are the signs of premature rupture of membranes? Here are some signs of premature rupture of membranes.

1. What is premature rupture of membranes?

Premature rupture of membranes is the most common complication in the perinatal period. It is extremely likely to cause serious adverse consequences for pregnant women, parturients, fetuses and newborns.

Premature rupture of membranes refers to the rupture of the fetal membranes in the middle or late stages of pregnancy or before delivery, and the sudden outflow of amniotic fluid from the vagina. If the pregnancy is less than 37 weeks, then the premature rupture of membranes in this case is also called premature birth, which is what we often call preterm birth.

Increased amniotic cavity pressure, mycoplasma infection, poor connection between the fetal presenting part and the pelvic entrance, and lack of copper and zinc trace elements in pregnant women may all be causes of premature rupture of membranes.

Premature rupture of membranes is dangerous for both the pregnant woman and the fetus. Premature rupture of membranes can lead to an increase in premature birth rate, perinatal mortality, and intrauterine infection and puerperal infection rates.

2. Symptoms of premature rupture of membranes

Premature rupture of membranes refers to the natural rupture of the fetal membranes before delivery. Generally speaking, pregnant women can start from the following aspects to determine whether they have symptoms of premature rupture of membranes.

1. Pregnant women can judge for themselves whether they have the following situations: sudden vaginal discharge with or without various reasons, and the amount of discharge can be more or less. The discharge is usually continuous, but the duration varies, with a large amount at first and then gradually decreasing. A few have intermittent discharge. Vaginal discharge is usually related to changes in the pregnant woman's body position and whether she is active or not.

2. Doctor's diagnosis and treatment judgment method: When the pregnant woman lies on her back, liquid may or may not flow out of the vaginal opening. If there is no liquid flowing out, during rectal examination, liquid may flow out of the vaginal opening by lifting the posterior vaginal fornix, pushing up the fetal head, pressing the uterine fundus, or changing the pregnant woman's position. Please note that after these auxiliary operations, no liquid may flow out. The fluid that comes out is usually thin and may be mixed with meconium or vernix caseosa.

The above "symptoms of premature rupture of membranes" are the answers given by the pregnant women themselves and the doctors respectively.
