Patient's question:
During pregnancy, it is always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. How should pregnancy be managed after a cesarean section?Doctor's answer:
After a cesarean section, pregnancy should be avoided for at least two years before trying to conceive again. This is because the incision on the uterine wall does not heal well in the short term after a cesarean section. Early pregnancy, due to the baby's growth causing the uterus to continuously expand, can make the uterine wall thin, especially at the surgical incision site, which is composed of connective tissue and lacks elasticity. Fresh scars are prone to rupture during the later stages of pregnancy or delivery, potentially leading to severe abdominal bleeding or even life-threatening complications. Therefore, it is safer to wait at least two years after the surgery before attempting another pregnancy.
