Primary inadequate contractions - what does this mean
Primary inadequate contractions is a type of uterine dysfunction which occurs when the uterus fails to generate enough contractions during labor to effectively expel the fetus. this condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including uterine abnormalities, hormonal imbalances, or a lack of oxytocin, the hormone that stimulates uterine contractions. in some cases, the cause of primary inadequate contractions is unknown.
What happens during the disease - primary inadequate contractions
Primary inadequate contractions is a condition in which the uterine muscles fail to contract adequately during labor, resulting in prolonged labor and a higher risk of fetal distress. this can be caused by a variety of factors, such as poor nutrition, inadequate hydration, hormonal imbalances, and chronic diseases. other contributing factors include uterine abnormalities, maternal stress, and fatigue. treatment typically involves medications to stimulate uterine contractions, monitoring of the fetal heart rate, and possibly an assisted delivery.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Obtain medical history and review of symptoms.
- Conduct physical examination to assess uterine contractions.
- Order laboratory tests such as complete blood count, urinalysis, and amniotic fluid analysis.

- Perform Non-Stress Test to assess fetal heart rate and uterine contractions.
- Perform Contraction Stress Test to assess fetal heart rate in response to uterine contractions.
- Perform Fetal Fibronectin Test to assess risk of preterm labor.
- Consult other specialists such as a maternal-fetal medicine specialist or an obstetrician.
