Obstructed labour, unspecified - what does this mean

Obstructed labour, unspecified, is a type of labour complication in which the baby does not pass through the birth canal due to an obstruction. this obstruction can be caused by a number of factors, such as a large baby, a small pelvis, or a malpositioned baby. in some cases, the obstruction can be relieved by a caesarean section.

What happens during the disease - obstructed labour, unspecified

Obstructed labour is a condition in which the fetus is unable to pass through the birth canal due to physical obstruction. this can be caused by a variety of factors such as a narrow pelvis, an abnormally large fetus, or a malpositioned fetus. the obstruction can lead to decreased oxygen delivery to the fetus, leading to fetal distress and potential fetal death. in addition, the obstruction can cause an increase in maternal blood pressure and an increase in the risk of uterine rupture and other complications.
