Discontinuities after childbirth

The birth of a child is often accompanied by breaks. Of course, the likelihood of rupture or the need for a cut significantly increases in primiparous after 30, but the first birth in young mothers can also go through with complications. Gaps after delivery require special attention and care, given the peculiarity and complexity of the lesion.

Rupture of the uterus during childbirth

Rupture of the uterus is the most severe damage, which is not just a normal complication in childbirth, but a danger to the mother and child. When the uterus ruptures, an emergency cesarean section is required, and the doctors' struggle is already going on for the life of the mother. As a rule, in such cases, the child can not be saved, because in a few minutes the fetus develops acute hypoxia, which leads to death.

Rupture of perineum

Damage to the perineum is a common trauma in parturient women. Typically, an experienced obstetrician will be able to see the likelihood of a possible rupture directly in the process of delivery. In order to prevent a spontaneous rupture during childbirth, as experts advise, it is necessary to make a small incision that will later heal much faster than the resulting injury.

The rupture of the perineum after childbirth for 5 days must be treated with hydrogen peroxide or manganese solution. If the seams are applied catgut, then there is no need to remove them. In the case of using silk threads, the seams are removed after a week. In any case, the treatment of ruptures obtained during childbirth should occur under the supervision of physicians.

Cervical rupture

The rupture of the cervix during childbirth , as a rule, is due to the fault of the woman herself. Seams with such trauma are superimposed by absorbable threads and do not require subsequent removal. It should be noted that suturing with such a rupture does not need any anesthesia, since the cervix does not have pain receptors. The consequence of rupture of the cervix during labor and delivery of untimely care can be the development of inflammatory processes, erosion and other pathologies.

Treatment of ruptures after childbirth

As you know, treating gaps after delivery is much more difficult, than to prevent them. So, for example, there is a special method of massage of the perineum with the use of oil, which will help from ruptures during childbirth. In addition, mothers are strongly encouraged to listen to the recommendations of experienced obstetricians, because most of the injuries appear precisely because of the inadequate behavior of the woman herself.

With a serious rupture of the vagina and perineum after giving birth, women are forbidden to sit for a month. Sexual life of a woman should also be limited. As a rule, doctors allow sex after childbirth , ending with breaks, not earlier than 1.5-2 months.
