Patient's question:
First child was 4 years ago, second child, 39 days pregnant, transvaginal ultrasound, gestational sac 17mm away from cesarean scar. Wanting this baby, is the risk high? What can be done to make the gestational sac grow upward?Doctor's answer:
The incision site after a cesarean section is where scars gather. If the gestational sac is too close to the incision, there is a risk of placenta previa reoccurrence. This can lead to severe bleeding during childbirth, and in some cases, the uterus may need to be removed. Being too close carries the risk of placenta previa, which poses significant harm to the mother. Whether it is advisable to carry the pregnancy to term should be discussed with the gynecology department at the hospital. The above is advice on this matter, and we hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
