Best quote from Uterusatonie: Wenn die Gebärmutter nach der Geburt nicht schließt
Die Gebärmutter muss nach der Geburt eine so starke Kontraktion aufbauen, dass sie die blutenden Gefäße mechanisch regelrecht abklemmt – man nennt das auch die „lebenden Ligaturen“. Wenn dieser Muskel aber schlaff bleibt, gibt es nichts, was die Blutung stoppt.

Frequently Asked Questions
Unter einer Uterusatonie versteht man einen Zustand in der Geburtshilfe, bei dem sich die Gebärmutter nach der Entbindung nicht fest genug zusammenzieht. Normalerweise fungieren die Muskeln der Gebärmutter wie ein natürlicher Druckverband, um die Blutgefäße zu verschließen. Bleibt das Gewebe jedoch schlaff, können lebensgefährliche postpartale Hämorrhagien entstehen, da der Körper den Blutfluss nicht eigenständig stoppen kann. Dies ist eine der häufigsten Ursachen für schwere Komplikationen direkt nach der Geburt.
Starke Blutungen nach der Geburt, auch postpartale Hämorrhagie genannt, sind extrem riskant, da am Ende der Schwangerschaft etwa 700 Milliliter Blut pro Minute durch die Gebärmutter fließen. Wenn die Gebärmutter nicht schließt, kann eine Frau innerhalb kürzester Zeit verbluten. Laut Eli und Lena ist dies weltweit ein Hauptgrund für Müttersterblichkeit, obwohl viele dieser Todesfälle durch schnelles medizinisches Eingreifen eigentlich vermeidbar wären.
Die Uterusatonie ist für bis zu 80 Prozent der Fälle von extrem starken Blutungen nach der Entbindung verantwortlich. Wie Lena im Podcast erklärt, ist dies die häufigste Ursache für die sogenannte postpartale Hämorrhagie. Trotz moderner Medizin im Jahr 2026 bleibt dieses Phänomen eine der größten Herausforderungen in der Geburtshilfe, da es weltweit immer noch alle zwei Minuten zu einem Todesfall im Zusammenhang mit Geburtskomplikationen kommt.
