Patient's question:
I had a cesarean section last June, and now my child is almost 13 weeks old. I am also pregnant again, about 2 months along. Hello everyone, if I continue, will there be any risks?Doctor's answer:
If pregnancy occurs after a cesarean section, it is recommended to wait for two years before conceiving again. This is because the incision on the uterine wall after a cesarean section does not heal well in the short term. Early pregnancy, due to the growth and development of the fetus, causes the uterus to continuously shrink, making the uterine wall thinner, especially at the surgical incision site, which is connective tissue and lacks elasticity. Fresh scars are easily burst during the late stages of early pregnancy or during labor, which can lead to severe abdominal bleeding and even threaten life. Therefore, it is safer to wait for at least two years after the surgery before attempting early pregnancy again.When patients face the challenges of a cesarean section, we should actively conduct thorough examinations and treatments, avoiding hesitation to seek medical attention. If the condition does not improve after prolonged treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
