Sequelae of cervical rupture during vaginal delivery

Many friends who have had natural childbirth know that there may be sequelae of cervical tearing during natural childbirth. For cervical tear caused by natural delivery, cervical suture can be considered in the follow-up. This usually has no sequelae, but there will be scars, and if natural delivery is chosen next time, the subsequent laceration will be more serious, so friends should understand this.

Will vaginal delivery cause cervical tearing?

Maybe

Generally speaking, you can push with the help of a midwife when the cervix is ​​fully dilated. However, some pregnant mothers do not know how to push or cannot cooperate smoothly due to other reasons. They start pushing before the cervix is ​​fully dilated, which may cause cervical tear. In addition, if the labor progresses too quickly or the baby is too large, cervical laceration may occur.

Sequelae of cervical rupture during vaginal delivery

After delivery, the doctor will check the condition of the cervix. If there is a tear, cervical suture can be considered. Generally, there are no sequelae, but there will be scars on the healed cervix. The next time you give birth naturally, there is a high possibility of another tear.

If severe perineal lacerations are not properly treated and cared for, it may lead to complications of postpartum urinary incontinence in the mother, affect her future sexual life, and even affect the ability to have a second child.

The tearing wound during childbirth can cause pain during postpartum sexual intercourse. This is because the fibrous tissue of the sutured scar is harder than the soft vulva, and during sexual intercourse, the pulling on each other can easily cause pain. If the episiotomy or laceration is not only smooth but also repaired without poorly healed scars, there will be no problem.

How to care after cervical tear during normal delivery

The mother should first check the extent of the tear and then choose treatment measures. When giving birth naturally, there will be tearing. After stitches, the baby can recover to the same state as before. It will definitely be a little painful during the stitches. Be careful not to squat for a long time and don't overwork yourself.

1. If it is just a small spot, try to let it heal on its own and avoid sexual intercourse before it heals.

2. If the area is large, surgical repair is recommended.

3. In addition, the wound should be scrubbed with soapy water and gauze. You can also rinse it with clean water and then use medicine to flush the vulva and vagina.

4. Change into clean underwear every day. If you find any redness on the wound, seek medical attention immediately.
