The risk factors for uterine inversion include:

  • A long umbilical cord: This can contribute to uterine inversion as it may allow for excessive traction on the uterus during delivery.

  • Vigorous uterine massage without guarding the uterus: This can lead to inversion if the uterus is not properly supported during massage.

  • Precipitous labor: Rapid labor can increase the risk of uterine inversion due to the sudden changes in uterine dynamics.

  • Traction of the umbilical cord prior to complete separation: Pulling on the umbilical cord before the placenta has fully separated from the uterine wall can cause inversion.

  • Retained placenta: This can lead to uterine inversion if excessive force is used to remove the placenta.

Therefore, all the options listed are risk factors for uterine inversion.
