Next, this article will introduce to you what to do if there is a small amount of blood accumulation in the uterine cavity. Friends who want to know related knowledge can learn about it!

Intrauterine hemorrhage is a serious complication after cesarean section. It is caused by uterine atony after cesarean section and is a hidden bleeding. Because the bleeding does not flow outward, it accumulates in the uterine cavity and vagina and is easily ignored. Heavy bleeding in a short period of time can quickly lead to shock, and continued small amounts of bleeding can also gradually lead to shock. Because it happens after a cesarean section, the mother is often insensitive to the effects of anesthetics, and coupled with the trauma of the operation and weak physical condition, once blood accumulates and shock occurs, the mother's life may be in danger if not treated in time.

How to check intrauterine hematoma? What should I do if there is a small amount of blood accumulating in the uterine cavity?

1. Observation of the uterine fundus. For women who have undergone cesarean section, in addition to routine observations of vital signs, incision conditions, and patency of various ducts, special attention should be paid to observing the height of the uterine fundus. The normal height of the uterine fundus after surgery is below the navel or approximately level with the navel. If the uterine fundus is found to be elevated, the uterus should be pressed immediately to drain the accumulated blood. At the same time, uterotonics are injected to promote uterine contraction.

2. Observe the pulse. Due to the body's compensatory function, a large amount of intrauterine bleeding in a short period of time often does not cause a significant drop in the mother's blood pressure, but changes in the pulse appear first. If the pulse becomes faster and weaker, it indicates the possibility of blood accumulation in the uterine cavity. You should report it to your doctor immediately and deal with it in time.

3. Observe facial complexion. Because the effects of the anesthetic have not yet worn off, the mother may look pale. However, if you experience symptoms such as dizziness, thirst, irritability, shortness of breath, cold sweats, and apathy, you should be alert, find out the cause, and discover it in time to avoid delaying the disease.

4. Observe the secretions. After a cesarean section, a woman with an undilated cervix may have blood clots blocking the cervix due to intrauterine blood accumulation, with no vaginal bleeding, or may have a light red or light yellow discharge through the vagina. At this time, attention should be paid to other signs of intrauterine blood accumulation.

Although intrauterine hemorrhage is a common complication after cesarean section, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of this complication or avoid its serious consequences as long as the nursing staff pays great attention to it, closely observes the situation after the operation, and detects and treats it in time.
