What should I do if my uterus ruptures at home

  Nowadays, too many women choose cesarean section for childbirth. After giving birth to their first child by caesarean section, many women know that they need to wait another two years before they can have their second child. Frequent cesarean section may lead to uterine rupture during childbirth. Once the uterus ruptures, it can pose great danger to both the pregnant woman and the fetus. So what should I do if my uterus ruptures at home?

  

What should I do if my uterus ruptures at home1

  If there is a uterine rupture at home, it is necessary to immediately send the patient to the hospital for rescue. Do not hesitate and wait at home, otherwise it may lead to life-threatening situations for the mother and baby.

  After the mother is sent to the hospital, medical staff will immediately take measures to suppress the uterus, relax it, and choose cesarean section as much as possible to give birth to the baby earlier, or let the pregnant woman inhale ether, or take intramuscular injection of anesthesia, which can alleviate the severe pain of the pregnant woman. If pregnant women bleed too much, they are very prone to shock. At this time, pregnant women need to immediately receive intravenous or blood transfusion treatment to avoid shock.

  If the uterine rupture does not exceed 12 hours and there is no infection, and the edge of the uterine rupture is relatively neat, uterine repair surgery can be used to preserve the mother's fertility. But if the mother already has children and does not want to have children again, she can have tubal ligation, and the tear is large and uneven, with a higher possibility of infection. Then it is necessary to remove all the uterus in a timely manner.

  If uterine repair surgery is chosen, the remaining pregnancy time needs to be closely monitored after the surgery. After the mother gives birth to the baby, a drainage tube should be placed to facilitate further wound healing.
