Introduction
Inhibition of uterine contractions is generally achieved by using tocolytic agents, medications that suppress hormone secretion, surgical treatment, and other methods. If uterine contractions occur, timely examinations such as human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) testing and serum prolactin measurement should be performed to rule out the possibility of threatened abortion. In addition, bed rest is recommended and strenuous physical activity should be avoided.
Uterine contraction suppression is generally achieved through the use of tocolytic agents, medications that inhibit hormone secretion, surgical interventions, and other methods to alleviate symptoms. If uterine contractions occur, timely examinations such as human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) testing and serum prolactin measurement should be performed to rule out the possibility of threatened miscarriage. In addition, bed rest is recommended, and strenuous physical activity should be avoided to prevent vaginal bleeding.
1. Tocolytic agents: Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as magnesium sulfate injection or nifedipine soft capsules may be used to relieve spasms and reduce the frequency of uterine contractions.
2. Hormone-suppressing medications: Under medical supervision, drugs such as clomiphene citrate capsules or letrozole tablets can be prescribed to inhibit internal hormone secretion, thereby achieving the goal of suppressing uterine contractions.
3. Surgical treatment: If contractions are caused by threatened miscarriage, procedures such as induced labor or dilation and curettage (D&C) may be recommended by a physician to effectively control uterine contractions.
