When should the uterine contraction injection be given?

Giving birth is not only painful for women, but they also have to endure long uterine contractions. For some people, uterine contractions can last for 1 to 2 days, which is the most serious and painful. At the beginning, the contractions occur every few hours, and eventually become every five minutes. At this time, not only will it be extremely uncomfortable, but the whole body will even sweat profusely. Uterine contraction injections are often used during childbirth. What kind of method is this?

Uterine contraction pain, pressing the uterine fundus, and uterine contraction injections are the three major causes of pain during labor and postpartum.

-- Uterine contraction pain

At first, it will gradually approach the pregnant mother like dysmenorrhea, gradually intensify with the passage of time, and the intervals between pains will become shorter and shorter, while the pain will last longer and longer.

This pain that gradually spreads to the lower abdomen is unbearable, as if the pregnant mother has a bomb in her belly that is about to explode!

-- Press the fundus

Pressing the fundus of the uterus means pressing the pregnant mother's belly with hands after she gives birth. This is done to help the mother expel lochia and blood, promote uterine contraction, and help the uterus recover itself. This is especially important for mothers who have undergone cesarean section.

When it was time to massage the belly of a woman in labor, the reactions of each woman in the delivery room were varied. Some women screamed when they saw the midwife enter the room, some quickly hid in the quilt, some begged: "Can you not massage me?" and some began to shiver in their husband's arms.

Pressing the fundus of the uterus can expel lochia and blood clots and promote the recovery of the uterus. Without this active intervention, lochia will be difficult to expel on its own, so this is a very necessary diagnostic and treatment procedure. And the pressure must be strong to be effective. Some family members of the pregnant woman help her massage the fundus of her uterus, being gentle and kind to her. The pain is gone, but there is no effect.

This kind of pain is like being pricked by a needle by Madam Rong. Because some women do not recover well after parturition, they need to be injected with uterine contraction injections. The injections are also painful, slightly better than pressing the abdomen, but also abnormal compared to normal infusions. After using the oxytocin injection, the uterus will contract, and the pain of this contraction is similar to the pain of uterine contractions during childbirth.
