Uterine rupture

Uterine rupture refers to a tear in the uterine body or lower uterine segment during labor or pregnancy. It is a severe obstetric complication that threatens the lives of both mother and baby. Symptoms of incomplete uterine rupture are not obvious and are often discovered during a cesarean section. Symptoms of complete uterine rupture are usually critical, accompanied by tearing pain, cessation of uterine contractions, vaginal bleeding, and abnormal or absent fetal heart sounds.
