The mother is a mother, 33 weeks pregnant, with a history of uterine fibroid surgery. The patient was admitted to the hospital with unusual abdominal pain. Immediately upon admission, doctors conducted a clinical examination, ultrasound and paraclinical testing.
Through consultation, the team recorded an abnormally thin uterine wall at the bottom, right at the location of the surgery. Along with the symptoms of residential abdominal pain, doctors think about the possibility of a rupture of the uterus on the old incision - an extremely dangerous obstetric complication.
Shortly after, the mother was indicated for emergency surgery. During the surgery, the doctor discovered that the uterus had a rupture of about 5cm long in the bottom area, with about 500ml of abdominal blood.
The fetus was safely removed, a boy weighing 1800g, cried well after giving birth and was quickly transferred to the Neonatal Department for intensive care. On the mother's side, the team performed uterine preservation, blood dynamic control and intensive resuscitation after surgery. Currently, the health of both mother and child is stable.
A representative of Hung Yen Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital said that uterine rupture is one of the most serious obstetric complications, which can lead to death if not detected and treated promptly. This case is especially dangerous because the mother has a history of uterine fibroids - a factor that weakens the uterus and makes it vulnerable during pregnancy, especially in the last weeks.
Doctors recommend that women who have had uterine intervention surgery should have their pregnancy closely monitored at a specialized medical facility. When there are any unusual signs such as accommodative abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, unusual fetal movements... you need to go to the hospital immediately for timely diagnosis and treatment. Early detection is meaningful to survival, helping to save the lives of both mother and child.
