Uterine rupture is when the muscular wall of the uterus tears during pregnancy or childbirth. Symptoms while classically including increased pain, vaginal bleeding, or a change in contractions aren't always present. Disability or death of the mother or baby may result. Risk factors include childbirth after cesarean delivery (VBAC), other uterine scars, obstructed labor, induction of labor, trauma, and cocaine use. While typically rupture occurs during labor it's going to occasionally happen earlier in pregnancy. Diagnosis could also be suspected supported a rapid drop by the baby's pulse during labor. Uterine dehiscence may be a less severe condition during which there's only incomplete separation of the old scar. Treatment involve rapid surgery to regulate bleeding and delivery of the baby. Ahysterectomy could also be required to regulate the bleeding. Blood transfusions could also be given to exchange blood loss. Women who have had a previous rupture are generally recommended to possess C-sections in subsequent pregnancies.
