What is the recommended method for managing uterine inversion?

The recommended method for managing uterine inversion is manual replacement. This approach involves the healthcare provider attempting to reposition the inverted uterus back to its normal anatomical position through a careful and gentle manual technique. Uterine inversion can occur during or after delivery and is a serious condition that requires prompt action to prevent significant complications, such as hemorrhage and shock.

Manual replacement is typically the first line of treatment because it can restore normal uterine function and reduce the risk of complications. After the uterus is manually replaced, it's essential to monitor the patient closely and manage any potential complications that may arise.

Other methods may be relevant in more complex cases or if manual replacement fails, but manual replacement remains the safest and most effective initial approach when an inverted uterus is identified. Understanding the urgency and techniques involved in managing this condition is crucial for anyone involved in critical care or obstetric emergencies.
