Secondary uterine inertia - what does this mean

Secondary uterine inertia is a form of uterine dysfunction that occurs during labor, in which the uterus fails to contract with sufficient force to push the baby out. this condition is caused by a variety of factors, such as an inadequate or uncoordinated response of the uterus to oxytocin, a hormone that stimulates uterine contractions, or a lack of strength in the uterine muscles. other causes of secondary uterine inertia include pre-existing medical conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, or obesity.

What happens during the disease - secondary uterine inertia

Secondary uterine inertia is a condition in which the uterus fails to contract and expel the fetus during labor. it is thought to be caused by a number of factors, including inadequate oxytocin receptor stimulation, inadequate levels of oxytocin, and/or abnormal uterine muscle contraction. abnormalities in the autonomic nervous system, such as decreased parasympathetic activity, may also play a role in the development of this condition. it is also thought that certain medications, such as calcium channel blockers, may interfere with the normal functioning of the uterus and contribute to the development of secondary uterine inertia.

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Conduct a physical examination
  • Perform a pelvic ultrasound
  • Order a laboratory test to measure the patient's hormone levels
  • Perform a hysteroscopy to examine the uterus
  • Conduct a laparoscopy to check for any abnormalities
  • Carry out a hysterography to assess the shape of the uterus
  • Perform a uterine biopsy to check for any tissue abnormalities

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: To improve uterine contractions and facilitate delivery.
  • Administer oxytocin to improve uterine contractions
  • Administer tocolytic drugs to reduce uterine contractions
  • Administer magnesium sulfate to reduce preterm labor
  • Monitor fetal heart rate and maternal vital signs
  • Perform a manual uterine massage to stimulate contractions
  • Perform an amniotomy to induce labor
  • Perform an episiotomy to facilitate delivery
  • Perform a cesarean section if necessary

Secondary uterine inertia - Prevention

Secondary uterine inertia can be prevented by ensuring that the mother is well-nourished during pregnancy, receiving proper antenatal care, and that the delivery is conducted by a qualified medical professional. additionally, the use of oxytocin to induce labor should be used with caution.
