|
Why does dehydration lead to increased contractions? |
Thought that because oxytocin and ADH are both produced in the same place, a dehydrated patient will have cross reaction of ADH with oxytocin receptors leading to increased contractions. Hydrate pt to decrease ADH and help with contractions alleviations |

Prostaglandin typically increases calcium, so inhibiting it decreases calcium and thus contractions |
