Hi,
With the question "Is it dangerous to have a lot of uterine mounds when 15 weeks pregnant?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Braxton - Hicks contractions also known as false labor contractions, appear around the 4th month of pregnancy, often irregular and non-cyclical. These contractions are the first step for the uterus to train for the day of childbirth and exercise a woman's stamina. Physiological contractions have the following characteristics:
Lasts about 30 seconds, comes on suddenly (usually goes away on its own at rest), does not come on No pain but tightness in the lower abdomen If you have symptoms These symptoms are indicative of false labor contractions. However, you should see a doctor to rule out problems with threatened miscarriage, uterine prolapse that threatens premature birth, and other causes. Your doctor will take treatment and prevention measures to avoid the risk of miscarriage for you.
If you still have questions about uterine mounds, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
