Detailed explanation-1: -The oxytocin travels to your uterus and stimulates contractions. These uterine contractions, in turn, cause your pituitary gland to release more oxytocin, leading to an increase in both the intensity and frequency of contractions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Oxytocin helps the womb to contract during childbirth. Sometimes artificial oxytocin is given to induce (start) labour or to speed it up. It is also sometimes used to help the placenta to be delivered, or to help the womb contract after childbirth to prevent heavy bleeding.
Detailed explanation-3: -Oxytocin has been best known for its roles in female reproduction. It is released in large amounts during labor, and after stimulation of the nipples. It is a facilitator for childbirth and breastfeeding. One of the oldest applications of oxytocin as a proper drug is as a therapeutic agent during labor and delivery.
Detailed explanation-4: -In women, oxytocin is responsible for signaling contractions of the womb during labor. The hormone stimulates the uterine muscles to contract, so labor begins.
