What to do if your cervix is ​​short? Deal with it based on the cause

There are many reasons for the phenomenon of short cervix. If this phenomenon occurs, mothers should deal with it according to their actual situation. Everyone should know that even if the phenomenon of short cervix occurs, there is no need to lie motionless in bed to protect the fetus. Just pay attention to moderate exercise in normal times.

1. The causes of cervical shortening are different, and the treatment methods are also different. Therefore, once the cervical canal is found to be shortened, the expectant mother should seek treatment under the guidance of a doctor based on her own situation.

2. If the shortening of the cervical canal is caused by cervical insufficiency in the expectant mother, surgical treatment is generally required. However, if the expectant mother's physical condition does not allow surgery, she will need to take certain additional medications to reduce the incidence of premature birth.

3. If the pregnant mother only has a simple shortening of the cervical canal, it is mostly related to short-term activities and can usually be relieved after rest. Therefore, in this case, expectant mothers only need to reduce their activities appropriately to safely go through the entire pregnancy.

4. What expectant mothers also need to know is that if the cervical canal shortens, there is no need to stay in bed absolutely to rest, that is, there is no need to lie in bed motionless to protect the fetus. Because this does not reduce the chance of premature birth, but may also bring some more terrible complications, such as venous thrombosis.

5. However, expectant mothers should try to avoid constipation, standing for long periods of time, long-term lifting of heavy objects, or chronic coughing when carrying out daily activities. Because this will increase abdominal pressure, further increase local pressure on the cervix, and increase the risk of premature birth.
