Nevertheless, this is a very dangerous condition, so let's figure out what causes the tone of the uterus during pregnancy.
In the first trimester of pregnancy, increased uterine tone can lead to miscarriage or embryo arrest in development, and in the subsequent second and third - to late spontaneous abortion and premature birth. In addition, this condition worsens the placenta's work to supply the developing embryo with blood, which is fraught with hypoxic oxygen starvation of crumbs. A contraction of the uterus with a tone that does not lead to the same reduction in the placenta is a common cause of detachment of the latter. That's why in no case should we ignore the alarming symptoms.
Hypertension is manifested by drawing pains in the appendages, which are very reminiscent of sensations during menstruation. Women, who already have children, note the similarity of such pain to the first fights. The future mommy feels the heaviness and tension in the lower abdomen, she takes the lower back, there is a feeling of considerable pressure in the pubic area. Especially dangerous combination of the above symptoms with bloody discharge from the genital tract. All this is an occasion for an urgent visit to the women's consultation.
Diagnosed by threatening the course of the pregnancy condition through a routine examination of the doctor or with the help of data obtained by ultrasound. Traditional treatment is the observance of sleep and rest, the use of sedative and antispasmodics and the provision of a future mummy for rest.
However, most often the tone is a symptom of some other health problems. Therefore, for more effective treatment it is necessary to identify the root cause.
The reasons for the pathological increase in the tone of the uterus during pregnancy are very diverse and can only be determined by a doctor.
So, often hypertension is a consequence of various inflammations and infections in the pelvic area. That's why pregnancy planning is so important. It is much easier and safer to eliminate all infections that are a threat to the health of the future baby, even before his conception. This is the main sign of a conscious and reasonable approach to life.
Prior pregnancy abortions can also cause certain changes in the structure of the uterus and cause a malfunction in its functions during the period of conceiving the desired child.
Hormonal disorders, especially in the endocrine system, very often cause hypertension. This also applies to an excess of male sex hormones in a pregnant woman experiencing problems in the form of dysfunction of the ovaries, adrenal glands or placenta.
Concomitant diseases of the expectant mother are often also a threat to the bearing of the baby. For example, some chronic heart and kidney diseases require special attention during pregnancy. With appropriate therapy, serious complications can be avoided and the child reported up to the prescribed forty weeks.
In almost all cases, congenital anomalies in the structure and development of the uterus are fraught with an increase in her tone during pregnancy. The so-called genital infantilism can also be attributed to this category, which manifests itself in the form of underdevelopment of the genital organs in a woman.
Various tumor formations in the uterine cavity, fibroids and polyps can both prevent conception itself and pose a serious threat to the course of pregnancy.
Separately it is necessary to tell in conversation that will cause during pregnancy a tone of a uterus about psychological discomfortable conditions. It's no secret that the future mother should be protected from stress and anxiety. After all during this period the woman because of enormous hormonal reorganization is unusually vulnerable and is sensitive to many unfavorable factors. Any insignificant situation, which she would not have paid attention to before, now can become a provocateur of a whole stream of tears or even tantrums. Insecurity, internal tension, depression - all this is not the best way to affect pregnancy and can cause hypertonia. Moreover, the described conditions are fatal to the fetus, not only during its intrauterine life, but also a few months before. That is, already in the planning period of the desired child, you need to be charged with positive emotions and get rid of negative thoughts.
The same extremely undesirable result can give and the general depression of immunity. That's why every pregnant woman is shown eating a lot of vegetables and fruits, as well as taking vitamin complexes.
Among the most common causes of the uterine tone, it is possible to isolate also isthmico-cervical insufficiency. This very serious complication is characterized by the inability of the cervix to withstand the increasing weight of the child, which without proper treatment leads to its exposure long before the due date. And to save the premature baby, unfortunately, is not possible in all cases.
Obviously, during pregnancy, special attention should be paid to the prevention of the onset of tonus. So, at the planning stage of the baby it is necessary to undergo a thorough examination for the presence of infections and ZPP. In addition, it is important to get consultations of such specialists as gynecologist, endocrinologist and, if necessary, visit a psychotherapist.
If you already carry under the heart of the baby, provide yourself with sparing working and rest conditions, get rid of physical and mental overloads, master the basic, so necessary during pregnancy, ways of relaxation and listen carefully to your condition. With the slightest suspicions of increased uterine tone, consult a doctor immediately. Child's health is not what you have the right to take risks.
