Premature rupture of membranes can cause the fetus to fall into an abnormal state. If such an abnormal state cannot be adjusted in a timely manner, it may lead to serious consequences. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the causes of premature rupture of membranes in a timely manner. So, why does premature rupture of membranes occur?
1. Poor development of fetal membranes. In addition to the reasons of the fetal membranes themselves, the lack of vitamin C, copper, and smoking in early pregnancy may also induce poor fetal development, which increases the risk of premature rupture of the membranes.
2. Cervical incompetence. If the cervix is enlarged significantly without pregnancy, it is considered as cervical dysfunction, mainly manifested as relaxation of the internal opening and absence of the isthmus.
3. There is abnormal pressure inside the uterine cavity. This situation is usually caused by asymmetry of the head and pelvis or abnormal fetal position, which may be closely related to twin births, excessive amniotic fluid, difficulty in defecation, or severe coughing.
4. Trauma. If the patient has trauma or mechanical stimulation, it may lead to premature rupture of membranes.
5. There is inflammation in the reproductive tract. If there is inflammation such as vaginitis or cervicitis, it can easily lead to membrane infection, resulting in premature rupture of membranes.
