Some aspects of trauma during childbirth in pregnant women with chronic intrauterine infection

Abstract

This study investigates the clinical and histologic characteristics of cervical ruptures during labor in women with chronic intrauterine infections. After analyzing the data of 82 women after delivery, the authors of the study found a high incidence of cervical rupture, especially in first-pregnant women, as well as extragenital diseases and a history of gynecological problems. The study emphasized that 64.6% of cases had first-degree tears and 35.4% had second-degree tears, often accompanied by varying degrees of bleeding. Histologic studies revealed inflammatory changes in all cases of cervical rupture, and necrotic areas were observed in 63.4%. The findings indicate that cervical ruptures are a significant source of postpartum infections and can lead to long-term anatomical and functional complications. Emphasizing the importance of surveillance of women with complicated pregnancies, the authors of this study advocate proactive measures for infection screening and postpartum cervical screening to reduce the risks associated with cervical trauma. Purpose of the study: to determine the characteristic clinical and histologic features of the cervix after its rupture during labor.
