Other venous complications in the puerperium - what does this mean
Other venous complications in the puerperium are caused by a combination of increased venous pressure due to increased abdominal pressure, increased venous stasis due to the large uterus, and decreased venous return due to the increased abdominal pressure. these factors can lead to the development of thrombophlebitis, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism.
What happens during the disease - other venous complications in the puerperium
Other venous complications in the puerperium are caused by the increased pressure on the veins in the lower abdomen due to the increased size of the uterus during pregnancy. this increased pressure can lead to an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis, varicose veins, and pelvic congestion syndrome. these conditions can cause swelling, pain, and discomfort in the affected areas. in some cases, these conditions can lead to more serious medical issues such as pulmonary embolism.
