What causes the cervix to not open? How to solve it?

Giving birth is a technical job. It is necessary to observe and summarize the best delivery time from many aspects. Among them, the degree of cervical dilation is one of the criteria for a smooth delivery. Most doctors judge whether the fetus can be delivered based on the cervical dilation index. Some women do not see their cervix open even after a long period of uterine contractions. Let’s take a look at the reasons for the failure to open the cervix. How to solve it?

Generally, factors that lead to the cervix not opening during labor include abnormal cervical structure, amniotic fluid conditions, fetal position, and pelvic conditions, so the specific cause of your situation is difficult to estimate. You can check or understand it by combining the symptoms and signs of labor. The muscles extending from the cervix into the uterus are called the soft birth canal. The situation in which the muscles harden and the cervix is ​​difficult to open is called "soft and tough birth canal". Due to the effects of hormones and labor pains, the cervix becomes soft, but if the soft birth canal cannot open, you can use medication or perform a cesarean section.

1: Delivery is carried out according to specific circumstances: Due to the influence of hormones, the cervix gradually softens, and the pressure of the fetal head causes the mother's cervix to expand. However, the mother's physical condition and mood will affect the opening and closing of the cervix. The most important thing is that mothers should understand that intense labor pains and the opening and closing of the uterus are complementary to each other.

2. The cervix opens but the contractions are weak: If the contractions become stronger but the cervix does not open, the fetus will not be born. Only when both aspects are carried out simultaneously can the birth of the fetus be promoted. Muscle tension can cause muscles to become stiff. The simplest example is when you clench your fist, your palm becomes hard, and when you unclench your fist, your palm becomes soft. By the same token, if you keep your mood good and your body relaxed, the cervix will open more easily. In fact, tension is not good for normal childbirth. Mothers should face childbirth with a relaxed attitude.
