Subinvolution of the Uterus

Subinvolution of the uterus refers to a condition where the uterus does not shrink to its pre-pregnancy size in the expected timeframe after childbirth. Often caused by retained placental tissue or infections, this can lead to heavy bleeding and increased risk of infection. Nurses need to know how to perform fundal checks and educate clients on what to look out for in the postpartum period.
