About ruptured uterus

Abstract

For 5 years (1954-1958) in maternity hospitals in Kazan, uterine ruptures were observed in 29 women. At the age from 20 to 30 years old there were 10, from 30 to 40 years old - 17, over 40 years old - 2 women. There was only one primary pregnant woman, multiparous and multiparous 28. Ruptures were observed at least at 2-4, maximum at 10-11th pregnancies. In 15 patients in the past there was a caesarean section, in 13 obstetric history was aggravated by either febrile, artificial, more often criminal abortions, or prolonged labor, febrile postpartum period, which probably caused destructive changes in the muscles of the uterus and led to its functional impairment in subsequent childbirth.
