Patient's question:
I gave birth to a child via cesarean section on June 27, 2005, and I am still breastfeeding her. My last menstrual period was on November 4, and on December 6, an examination showed that my CHG was positive. I want to ask how to wean and what is the safest way to have an abortion.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, it takes at least 2 years after a cesarean section to consider pregnancy. If the uterine wound cannot fully heal, pregnancy can easily lead to uterine wound rupture, severe bleeding, and even life-threatening risks. For subsequent pregnancies after a cesarean section, it is recommended to wait at least 2 years before trying to conceive. 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, makes the uterine wall thin, especially at the surgical incision site, which is connective tissue and lacks elasticity. Fresh scars can easily rupture during the later stages of pregnancy or delivery, leading to severe abdominal bleeding and even threatening life. Therefore, it is safer to wait at least 2 years after the surgery before conceiving again.
