Before considering surgical options, changing the posture of the mother during<unk>  can help to progress<unk> . The treatment of<unk>  may require cesarean section or vacuum extraction with possible surgical opening of the symphysis pubis. Caesarean section is an invasive method but is often the only method that will save the lives of both the mother and the infant. Symphysiotomy is the surgical opening of the symphysis pubis. This procedure can be completed more rapidly than Caesarean sections and does not require anesthesia, making it a more accessible option in places with less advanced medical technology. This procedure also leaves no scars on the uterus which makes further pregnancies and births safer for the mother. Another important factor in treating<unk>  is monitoring the energy and hydration of the mother. Contractions of the uterus require energy, so the longer the mother is in<unk>  the more energy she expends. When the mother is depleted of energy, the contractions become weaker and<unk>  will become increasingly longer. Antibiotics are also an important treatment as infection is a possible result of<unk> .
