I want to ask how many times can you have a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

I often love reading many books, and I might find that one person said they still want a child after a cesarean section. I thought that after a cesarean section, they could no longer have children, but today, from a book, I saw that, well, it's actually necessary to wait two years. I'd like to understand here how many times can a cesarean section result in childbirth?

Doctor's answer:

A cesarean section can be performed at most twice. If the first incision is vertical, the second must be horizontal. Conversely, if the first incision is horizontal, the second must be vertical. This is because the scarred area left by the uterus has lost its elasticity. Do you understand?
However, many people cannot conceive again after a cesarean section due to physical reasons. Since you have already had one cesarean delivery, you must have a medical check-up before considering another pregnancy and follow your doctor's advice. Otherwise, it would be very dangerous.
