What should I do if I am pregnant with a loose cervix?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Cervical incompetence is a common cause of late habitual abortion, primarily treated through surgical methods. The correct approach should be to undergo cervical cerclage before pregnancy, which is highly effective. If pregnancy occurs, cervical ligation can be performed around the 16th week of gestation, but it may carry the risk of inducing abortion. If treated early, medication can be taken to promote uterine tube tension, allowing for continued pregnancy. If medication alone is ineffective, a "cervical canal suture" can be performed externally on the uterus using thread, which is later removed during delivery.
