How to deal with scar pregnancy

The so-called scar pregnancy refers to women with a history of caesarean section. When they become pregnant again, the place where the pregnancy bed is located is the original scar of the uterus. If you do not pay attention to good care and prevention, it is easy to cause heavy vaginal bleeding or even uterine rupture. It is very harmful to pregnant women and is also a more difficult pregnancy abnormality to deal with. Experts warn that pregnancy scars must be prevented!

Most women choose cesarean section when giving birth to their first child, so they must be wary of scar pregnancy. During a cesarean section, the doctor makes an incision in the uterus, takes out the baby, and then sews it up, leaving a scar.

There are often tiny cracks in this place, the uterine cavity and mucosal layer are incomplete, and there are gaps between the muscle layers. If the embryo happens to implant nearby, it will grow towards the muscle layer like a seed, grow roots that pass through the gaps and tear the muscles, easily causing uterine rupture or heavy bleeding. Therefore, for women with a history of cesarean section, regular check-ups and B-ultrasound tests are necessary in the middle and late stages of pregnancy. If risk factors are found, they should be admitted to the hospital for intervention as soon as possible.

In previous clinical practice, we have found cases where a mother was careless when she was pregnant with her second child, which resulted in rupture of the uterine scar and the fetus falling into the abdominal cavity and suffocating to death. What's worse, the mother's uterus was also removed. Before the introduction of the policy of allowing couples to have two children if only one of them is an only child, such cases were relatively rare. But now that the policy has been implemented, high-risk groups are reminded to pay attention and go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible if they experience pain in the scar or vaginal bleeding.

According to official statistics, among the applicant families, women aged between 30 and 39 account for 76% of the total. Experts remind single mothers who have had cesarean sections to be alert to risks such as scar pregnancy

It is best to terminate the pregnancy when this type of ectopic pregnancy occurs, otherwise it will cause great harm to both the child and the pregnant woman. In severe cases, it can cause uterine rupture and death of the pregnant woman. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not choose a cesarean section. Not only will a cesarean section leave wounds, but it also requires women not to have children within three years after the operation.
