The most cherished dream of future parents, quite naturally, is the birth of a healthy baby. But often this dream can be overshadowed by anxiety after the results of ultrasound and the diagnosis "increased uterine tone." Such a diagnosis indicates a problem in the body of a pregnant woman. However, the tone is not a disease, it is a consequence of the processes taking place in the woman’s body, and is far from favorable.
In most cases, the occurrence of tonus occurs at the beginning of pregnancy. This condition is an active contraction of the uterus for childbirth, but premature. Its manifestation is aching and pulling pains in the lower abdomen and lower back. However, the manifestation of such symptoms is not necessary. Such cases are also not uncommon when it is possible to detect a tone only during a routine examination for ultrasound.
Uterine tone: causes
Somatic causes of tonus relate to the physiological or biological problems of the body. The diagnosis of "increased uterine tone," the reasons for which depend on the living conditions, age, habits of the expectant mother, may arise even because of a specific menstrual cycle or the consequences of previous pregnancies. Various pathologies or diseases of the uterus also exert their influence.
A diagnosis such as uterine tone, which can be caused by dangerous infections during pregnancy, often arises from complications of bearing the fetus. The rhesus factor or the conflict between the rhesus of the mother and baby, severe toxicosis at the beginning of pregnancy, placenta previa may affect.
Severe pregnancy - uterine tone, may well become synonymous. Hard work, inhalation of toxins, viral diseases become the causes of severe pregnancy and, as a result, uterine tone.
The diagnosis of uterine tone, the reasons for which may be psychological, is quite common. These are experiences, stresses, various family problems - everything that can affect the nervous system of a woman in labor. This reason can provoke an increased tone of the uterus even at the end of pregnancy. However, women often do not pay attention to the psychosomatics of the origin of this condition, and in vain. Uterine hypertonicity, the causes of which are psychosomatic in nature, is a very dangerous condition that can provoke a spontaneous miscarriage. In addition, increased tone harms the baby. This is due to a violation of the blood supply to each organ of the small pelvis and, as a consequence, the oxygen deficiency of the fetus.
How to get ridEverything is trivial. A pregnant woman should eat well, take vitamins, exclude hard work, walk more, follow all the doctor’s instructions, if necessary, observe strict bed rest, stop worrying and worrying. Pregnancy is happiness, you need to live it, enjoy every day that brings you closer to the emergence of a new family member. And, of course, not to allow doubts about its favorable outcome.
