Obstructed labour due to other abnormalities of fetus - what does this mean

Obstructed labour due to other abnormalities of the fetus occurs when the fetus is in an abnormal position in the birth canal, or when the size and shape of the fetus are incompatible with the mother's birth canal, resulting in an obstruction to the normal process of labour. this can be caused by fetal abnormalities such as hydrocephalus, anencephaly, or other conditions that cause the fetus to be too large or too small for the mother's birth canal.

What happens during the disease - obstructed labour due to other abnormalities of fetus

Obstructed labour is caused by an abnormality in the fetus that prevents it from passing through the birth canal. this can be due to an abnormality in the size or shape of the fetus, such as an abnormally large head or an abnormal position of the fetus within the birth canal. it can also be caused by an abnormality in the mother's pelvis, such as a narrow pelvis or a pelvic deformity. in some cases, the cause of the obstruction is unknown.

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Obtain a detailed history of the patient's medical history.
  • Perform a physical examination of the patient.
  • Order blood tests to check for any underlying medical conditions.
  • Perform an ultrasound to look for any abnormalities in the fetus.
  • Order a CT scan to look for any structural abnormalities in the fetus.
  • Perform an amniocentesis to check for chromosomal abnormalities.
  • Perform a biopsy of the placenta to check for any placental abnormalities.

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the obstruction of labour and facilitate the delivery of the fetus.
  • Administering oxytocin to induce labour.
  • Performing a caesarean section.
  • Manually removing the obstruction.
  • Performing an episiotomy.
  • Using forceps to assist delivery.
  • Administering drugs to relax the uterus.
  • Using vacuum extraction.
  • Using ultrasound to assess the position of the fetus.
  • Monitoring the fetal heart rate.
  • Administering antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection.

Obstructed labour due to other abnormalities of fetus - Prevention

Prevention of obstructed labour due to other abnormalities of the fetus can be achieved through prenatal screening and diagnosis, which can help identify any potential abnormalities in the fetus and provide early interventions to help reduce the risk of obstructed labour. additionally, proper antenatal care and monitoring of the pregnancy can help detect any potential issues early, allowing for timely interventions to reduce the risk of obstructed labour.
