Understand how synthetic oxytocin is used in normal labor
Oxytocin is a hormone naturally produced by our body to generate contractions of the uterus during labor and the release of milk during breastfeeding. It has been synthesized in the laboratory and thus has become a very useful medication, which can help save lives, if correctly indicated.
This hormone can also be used to start work when it does not occur naturally and can regularize its contractions when they are not effective and it is diagnosed that labor is not progressing properly.
In addition, it can also be used to contract the uterus after delivery or abortion, when bleeding is very abundant, preventing bleeding that could lead to loss of the uterus and even death if not properly controlled. Bleeding after birth is normal, but this blood loss can not be very strong, as the risk of bleeding at this stage increases with each woman's birth, and may be higher in twin pregnancies, regardless of whether it is normal birth or cesarean section, for example
Disadvantages of synthetic hormone
Like all medicines, there are side effects. There may be, for example, rupture of the uterus when used during labor. Therefore, it is a medication that should only be used in a hospital environment for the management of labor, under medical prescription and supervision so that the dose and the infusion are properly made.
Contractions caused by artificial oxytocin may be more painful, but when it is used, it is because a diagnosis was made of some problem in the course of labor. And if the mother chose to deliver without analgesia, she can talk to her doctor to evaluate the possibility of analgesia or to use other techniques such as bath, massage, which partially alleviate the pain.
It is necessary to understand that oxytocin is used as a medicine, and therefore should be used only when it is needed. There are also situations that contraindicate its use, such as allergy to some component of the medication.
Talking to your doctor is crucial
It is important for the woman to choose her obstetrician after talking a lot about it and all the others related to time of delivery. Today there are women who do not wish to receive any intervention during labor, but it must be understood that the obstetrician, as well as the parents, wants only the best for the mother and will do everything in her power to deliver family, and the healthy mother and baby binomial. But of course, like everything else in medicine, there are variations and different lines of thought among physicians, based on medical literature, since the study of the human being is not an exact science. So, besides understanding and clarifying doubts, it is important that you find an obstetrician who fits your expectations.
When we explain from the beginning all the process, what can happen and what will be necessary to do in each situation, the couple feel safe and at the time of delivery let the doctor and his team work, worrying only to enjoy the moment and enjoy.
Smoking habit decreases among teenagers who practice sports
One of the biggest challenges for parents of teenagers is to try to keep them away from addictions, such as alcohol and cigarettes, which are often acquired under the influence of friends. However, friendship activities and circles can also have a positive influence: research from the University of Southern California states that children who play sports are less likely to start smoking than other children.
