What is an expansion uterine?

There are specific times in women when the cervix, which opens the uterus, can open or expand. Most of the time they sit in a closed position, but some operations can open the cervix to gain access to the uterus, and even some gynecological procedures can do it. At the end of pregnancy, either medically or naturally, there is a widespread cervix that allows the fetus to pass from the uterus.

Although people can combine an expansion or open cervix as something that occurs at the end of a nine -month pregnancy, it can certainly occur at another time. Dilation I Kyrettage (D&C) and dilation and evacuation (D&E) will expand the cervix to gain access to the uterus. There are many circumstances under which one of these procedures could take place - cause abortion, end missed abortion or complete abortion. It may also occur D&C to treat conditions such as severe vaginal bleeding or for cancer control. It is important to remember that dilatationD cervix also occurs during abortion, although it sometimes must be caused if it is missing. The location of some contraceptive devices requires this, as in the case of hormonal or non -hormonal locations of the intrauterine device (IUD). Usually, this short dilatation can be slightly unpleasant, although only a centimeter or two can be open.

In normal pregnancy, the cervix remains usually closed to the point of work and childbirth. In the last few weeks, Braxton-Hicks contractions may lead to a slight dilatation of the cervix and some women may pass through a rumor plug called a bloody show that suggests that work is immediate. During the active and transient phases of childbirth, the cervix continues to expand and the measurement can be carried out to determine its specific width. Full -dilatation is ten centimeters (3.94 inches). When this is achieved, women are usualle instructed to start pushing.

Since cervical thinning or Effech is part of achieving a fully widespread cervix, many pregnant women want to know how they get to this point earlier. There are many tips and tricks to achieve a certain dilatation when the due date is achieved. One of the most famous of them is to contact a partner. Sperm exposure is an exposure to prostaglandins that help in softening or efficiency of the cervix. With induced work, doctors can use a prostaglandin liner to achieve a softened or extended cervix.

Achieving augmented cervix is ​​not always desirable. Some women are rapidly expanding in what is called sharp work. It may not initially be recorded or very painful, so when working features are present, things are suddenly extremely painful and the delivery moves too quickly. In the end, the gradual dilatation, albeit unpleasant, usually a safer fnebo mom and the child.
