Can be given induction of labor if the cervix is not dilating?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can I get a labor induction shot if my cervix hasn't dilated yet and I'm in pain?

Doctor's answer:

Administering induction of labor is usually done for natural delivery, and it can be used when the cervix is fully dilated. It is generally considered normal if the delivery is delayed by half a month after the expected due date. Vaginal delivery is still better, but it is essential to closely monitor the baby's condition. It is best to follow the advice of the doctor you trust, as she will choose the best delivery method for you. Early-stage malignant tumors are best treated with surgical resection, followed by local lymph node dissection. The five-year survival rate after surgery is relatively high, making the treatment effect more certain. Postoperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy can be combined to enhance the therapeutic effect.
