Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
The indications for cesarean section are:① Malpresentation of the head and pelvis.
② Threatened uterine rupture.
③ Abnormal soft tissues of the birth canal, such as scar tissue or pelvic tumors obstructing the descent of the presenting part, or edematous and rigid cervix that is not easily dilated.
④ Ineffective uterine inertia despite treatment, accompanied by prolonged labor.
⑤ Abnormal fetal positions, such as transverse lie or occiput posterior position, where vaginal delivery is not feasible.
⑥ Severe antepartum bleeding, such as placenta previa or abruptio placentae.
⑦ Failed induction of labor requiring a rapid delivery.
⑧ Indications may be appropriately relaxed for nulliparous women aged 35 or older.
After cesarean section, contraception is mandatory for 2 years to allow the incision scar tissue to heal properly before attempting pregnancy again.
