Abstract：Objective To evaluate the role of motherwort injection ( yimucao zhusheye ) for preventing post-partum hemorrhage and promoting the uterine involution after cesarean section .Methods There hundred and sixty women at the gestational age of more than 28 weeks who received the cesarean section were divided randomly into the treatment group ( 180 cases ) treated by motherwort injection combined with oxytocin and control group ( 180 cases ) treated by oxytocin .Amount of bleeding during the operation and after operation , the number of cases of postpartum hemorrhage , uterine contraction at different periods ,involution of uterus and hemoglobin decline after operation were observed.Results Amount of bleeding at every period in control group were significantly more than that in treatment group,there were statisticant differences ( P<0.05 ) .Uterine contraction at different periods in treatment group were all better than that in control group , there were statisticant differences during the operation , at 2 h and 6 h after oper-ation(P<0.05).The falling height of the uterus at 3d and 5d between two groups were statisticant differences (P<0.05 ) .Compared with hemoglobin levels before operation , there were statisticant differences in hemoglobin decrease degree at <1 g/L, 1 ~2 g/L,>2g /L(P<0.05) after operation between two groups .Conclusion Motherwort in-jection combined with oxytocin is useful for preventing postpartum hemorrhage and promoting uterine involution after cesarean section ,which can be used as the preferred treatment for postpartum hemorrhage and uterine contraction .
