Patient's question:
On August 30, 2011, a second cesarean section was performed. Now 35 days pregnant, is it possible?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 development of the fetus 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 can easily rupture during the later stages of pregnancy or delivery, leading to severe internal bleeding and even threatening life. Therefore, it is safer to wait at least two years after the surgery before attempting another pregnancy.
