Dangerous period after cervical cerclage

Cervical cerclage is suitable for many situations, such as premature birth, miscarriage, placenta previa, etc. caused by cervical insufficiency. Because they are basically related to pregnancy, and the surgical site is inside the female's cervix. Therefore, many patients are concerned about the dangerous period of surgical treatment and fear that surgery may induce serious consequences. So, when is the dangerous period after cervical cerclage?

In fact, since each woman's physical condition is different, the possible risks are also very different. But generally speaking, as long as relevant care measures are taken after the operation, the danger period will be out of the question in about a month. At that time, there is no need to be so cautious and afraid of danger.

Indications

1. Habitual miscarriage and premature birth caused by cervical insufficiency. Surgery can prolong pregnancy and improve newborn survival rate.

2. Placenta previa: Cervical cerclage can prevent the extension of the lower uterine segment and the dilation of the cervical opening, making it less likely for the placenta to be dislocated and detached from the uterine wall.

3. Twin or multiple pregnancy: Twin or multiple pregnancy is one of the main causes of premature rupture of membranes and premature birth due to excessive uterine expansion. The use of cervical cerclage can prolong the gestational age and significantly improve the fetal survival rate in multiple pregnancies.

What are the key points of care after cervical cerclage surgery?

(1) Although you should take adequate rest after surgery, it is not necessary to stay in bed. If there is no abdominal pain, uterine contraction, etc. after the operation, you can do some appropriate activities to avoid constipation.

(2) Many women are prone to constipation after surgery. At this time, they can eat more crude fiber foods and replenish blood appropriately. This is extremely helpful for women with habitual miscarriage.

(3) After the operation, you should pay attention to personal hygiene habits and avoid having sexual intercourse within a short period of time. You should also avoid taking a tub bath or a sitting bath to avoid bacterial infection.
