Two caesarean sections affect life expectancy

Caesarean section is a frequently used method of delivery, but you must remember that if you have a Caesarean section more than twice, it will still affect your life span and physical health. Try not to have a Caesarean section unless it is absolutely necessary. In addition, there are still certain risks to the fetus and pregnant women during the Caesarean section operation. This is more critical. People need to do a good examination before going for treatment.

1. When vaginal delivery is absolutely impossible for some reason, a caesarean section can save the lives of mother and baby.

A cesarean section is necessary when vaginal delivery is not possible or when vaginal delivery may be dangerous to the mother or the newborn (fetus).

2. The indications for cesarean section are clear, and anesthesia and surgery are generally smooth.

3. If an elective caesarean section is performed, the operation can be performed before uterine contractions begin, thus sparing the mother the pain of labor.

4. When there are other diseases in the abdominal cavity, they can also be treated together. For example, combined ovarian tumors or subserosal uterine fibroids can be removed at the same time.

5. For many pregnancy complications and termination of pregnancy, clinicians choose cesarean section to reduce the impact of complications and diseases on mother and child.

6. In case of placenta previa, if the mother gives birth naturally, it will cause heavy bleeding, which may put her life in danger. In addition, caesarean section is more suitable for situations such as giving birth to multiple babies.

Disadvantages of Caesarean Section

1. Cesarean section is a trauma to the mother both mentally and physically, and the abdominal scar will undermine the confidence of beauty-loving women. Many people think that cesarean section does not require dilation of the birth canal and will be very easy, so they hope to choose this method of delivery. In fact, cesarean section is already a surgical operation with corresponding risks, so it is best to choose it with caution.

2. Although surgical anesthesia accidents rarely occur, they can happen.

3. Massive bleeding and side effects may occur during surgery, and urinary, cardiovascular, respiratory and other system complications may occur after surgery.

4. After the operation, poor healing of the uterine incision, late postpartum bleeding, formation of abdominal wall sinus tracts, long-term non-healing of the incision, intestinal adhesions or endometriosis may occur.

5. The recovery of the uterus and the whole body after surgery is slower than natural childbirth.

6. During subsequent pregnancy and delivery, the uterine incision may split and rupture. If the original incision does not heal well, another cesarean section will be required during delivery, thus causing long-term adverse effects.

7. Newborns delivered by caesarean section may develop respiratory distress syndrome.

8. Newborns born by caesarean section have no direct contact with the outside world due to the squeezing and bacteria of the birth canal, so their natural immunity will be weaker than that of breastfed babies. Therefore, mothers should try to breastfeed after cesarean section. If this is not possible, they should choose formula milk containing probiotics to help the baby build his or her own immunity and reduce the chance of the baby getting sick.

9. After a caesarean section, if you want to get pregnant again, you have to wait at least two years. [5]
