Clinical manifestations of premature rupture of membranes

Premature rupture of membranes can cause symptoms such as premature birth and miscarriage, and can also cause intrauterine infection. It is recommended that pregnant women should receive treatment in a timely manner. Premature rupture of membranes has certain symptoms, such as sudden vaginal discharge and umbilical cord prolapse. At this time, fluid occasionally flows out of the vagina and the fetus's position will also change. The occurrence of these symptoms requires timely hospital examination.

What are the symptoms of premature rupture of membranes? Premature rupture of membranes can induce premature birth, umbilical cord prolapse and intrauterine infection. About 30% of premature births are caused by premature rupture of membranes. The clinical manifestation is water discharge from the lower body, which can be more or less. Since there is no pain when the amniotic membrane ruptures, many expectant mothers often think it is urination (when there is a lot of amniotic fluid) or vaginal discharge (when there is little amniotic fluid).

1. Symptoms: Sudden vaginal discharge with or without various reasons, the amount of discharge can be more or less. The discharge is usually continuous and lasts for varying periods of time. It starts out large and then gradually decreases. A few cases are intermittent. Vaginal discharge is usually related to changes in the pregnant woman's body position and whether she is active or not.

2. Physical signs: Pregnant women may or may not see any fluid flowing out of the vaginal opening when they lie in the supine position. If there is no fluid flowing out, during rectal examination, fluid may flow out of the vaginal opening by lifting the posterior vaginal fornix, pushing the fetal head upwards and pressing the uterine fundus, or when the pregnant woman changes her body position. Please note that no fluid may flow out after these auxiliary operations. The fluid that comes out is usually thin and may be mixed with meconium or vernix caseosa. Acute inpatients may bring underwear, sanitary napkins or toilet paper to the hospital, which requires further careful examination.

What is premature rupture of membranes? After 30 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus continues to grow, and the enlarged uterus presses on the bladder, causing frequent urination. This is a normal phenomenon, but if bed-wetting occurs, you should be alert to the possibility of premature rupture of membranes. Premature rupture of membranes is a common complication of delivery. It may cause various inflammations and requires vigilance.

Premature rupture of membranes, also known as broken water, refers to the spontaneous rupture of the fetal membranes before labor. Premature rupture of membranes with a gestational age of <37 weeks is also called premature birth (preterm). The incidence of premature rupture of membranes before 37 weeks of pregnancy is approximately 2.0% to 3.5%. Preterm rupture of membranes

Premature rupture of membrane (PPROM) is the most common complication in the perinatal period and can cause serious adverse consequences to pregnant women, fetuses and neonates. Premature rupture of membranes can lead to an increase in premature birth rate, perinatal mortality, and intrauterine infection and puerperal infection rates.

Types of premature rupture of membranes

1. Premature rupture of membranes: The spontaneous rupture of membranes before delivery. Premature rupture of membranes at a gestational age of <37 weeks is also called premature (preterm) premature rupture of membranes.

2. Premature rupture of membranes at term: If it occurs after 37 weeks of pregnancy, it is called premature rupture of membranes at term.
