The tone of the uterus during pregnancy can bring a lot of unpleasant sensations to the expectant mother. The brace supports the uterus, causing the muscles to relax. But in order to eliminate hypertonicity, wearing a bandage, as a rule, is not enough.
Hypertonicity of the uterus during pregnancy and the causes of its occurrence
The muscles of the uterus tend to periodically tense and relax. When they are in a state of tension for a long time, this is no longer the norm. This phenomenon is called hypertonicity. Many pregnant women have to deal with it from time to time.
During muscle tension, expectant mothers may feel pain in the lower abdomen, often the stomach becomes hard as a stone. In addition to the fact that this condition causes a lot of unpleasant sensations, it is quite dangerous. Hypertonia can cause premature birth. In the early stages of pregnancy, he creates the threat of spontaneous termination.
The cause of hypertonia can be a lack of magnesium salts in the body, overwork, stress, heavy physical exertion.
Does the bandage help relieve uterine hypertonicity?
Wearing a brace during pregnancy can help solve many problems. But before you buy it, it is advisable to consult with your gynecologist. In some cases, wearing it is not recommended.
The brace helps to relieve tension in the uterus, as it supports the tummy, preventing muscles from straining during active walking or other types of physical activity. It also relieves the spine.
It should be understood that by wearing a bandage it is possible to eliminate only mild hypertonicity, which is caused by muscle tension associated with a shift in the center of gravity, as well as active physical activity. In most cases, an integrated approach is required to the problem of eliminating hypertonicity.
With this pathology, while wearing a bandage, pregnant women need to take antispasmodics. Only a doctor can prescribe them. The specialist will definitely clarify the schedule and dosage of the drug.
If the tone is a consequence of a deficiency of magnesium in the body, a woman needs to take medications containing its salts. In this case, the bandage cannot help in any way to get rid of the manifestations of hypertonicity. But this does not mean at all that you do not need to wear it.
The bandage must be selected strictly in size and used correctly. It should not be too tight, squeeze internal organs and hinder movement.
If the smooth muscles of the uterus are straining, you should immediately lie down on a sofa or bed and relax. If the cause of this condition is nervous stress, you need to try to calm down and think about your health and the health of the unborn baby.
