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 a positive CHG result. I would like 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 women who conceive again after a cesarean section, it is recommended to wait at least 2 years before getting pregnant. 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 continuous growth of the fetus, causes the uterine wall to thin, especially at the surgical incision site, which is connective tissue and lacks elasticity. Fresh scars are easily burst during the late stages of pregnancy or delivery, leading to severe abdominal bleeding or even life-threatening complications. Therefore, it is safer to wait at least 2 years after the surgery before conceiving again.
