There are many reasons that can cause uterine rupture in women, but uterine rupture is a very serious situation for pregnant women. Once the uterus ruptures, it may cause postpartum hemorrhage, endangering the safety of pregnant women and fetuses. So, what should a pregnant woman do if her uterus ruptures at 32 weeks of pregnancy?
If there is a uterine rupture, the pregnancy needs to be terminated immediately, otherwise it may cause fetal miscarriage and even hemorrhagic shock. If the condition of the fetus is good, it can be considered to remove the fetus and place it in an insulated box for growth, and timely infusion and blood transfusion should be given to the pregnant woman to ensure her life safety.
After handling the emergency situation, surgical repair is required based on the pregnant woman's physical condition. If it is a young pregnant woman and there is no obvious infection in the uterine incision, uterine incision repair can be performed. In addition, in order to prevent complications or risks during future pregnancies, and if a woman's first pregnancy or previous delivery was not smooth, it is recommended that she undergo tubal ligation surgery.
But if the situation is severe, a total hysterectomy is required. In fact, the reason why pregnant women may experience uterine rupture may be due to their own abortion or improper use of oxytocin, or it may be caused by injury to the uterus during obstetric surgery. So if a woman has had these experiences before, she should go to the hospital for a full body examination before pregnancy to confirm that the uterine function is normal.
