Malposition of Fetus

Malposition of fetus refers to the lying of the fetus in uterus for thirty weeks after conception . It is usually seen in multipara or those with lax abdominal wall . No symptoms are found in most cases . It is only made known by prenatal examination . The commonly seen are breech , transverse position , etc .

Treatment Zhiyin ( B 67 ) is selected . Method : Moxibustion is applied to Zhiyin ( B 67 ) bilaterally for fifteen to twenty minutes while the pregnant woman sits in chair or lies supinely in bed with the belt unclasped . Give the treatment once or twice every day till the fetal position is corrected . Zhiyin ( B 67 ) is the Jing - ( Well ) Point of the Foot - Taiyang Meridian , and an empirical point for fetal malposition . The reported success rate is over 80% . It works more effectively in multiparae than primiparae . Moxibustion is much more widely adopted than acupuncture , the latter is sometimes served for the same purpose though .

There are many causative factors of the fetal malposition , they should be examined carefully . Other measures should be taken if the malposition is resulted from such factors as contracted pelvis , uterine deformity , etc .
