Patient's question:
My wife is 20 weeks pregnant, and now her cervix has dilated, but her water hasn't broken yet. The baby is also normal. The local doctor here says the child can't be saved. Are there any relative treatment options available for us?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, how many centimeters has the cervix dilated? Is there any contractions? What could have caused this situation? It is recommended that if there are no contractions and only cervical dilation, a cervical cerclage can be performed. If there are intermittent abdominal pains and signs of labor, and the attempt to preserve the pregnancy is unsuccessful, then it is best to let nature take its course. If the cervix has already dilated, it is definitely accompanied by abdominal pain symptoms. If the abdominal pain symptoms cannot be controlled, the chances of saving the child are slim. It is recommended that you follow your doctor's advice.
