What is the cause of cervical relaxation?

When female friends reach middle age, some gynecological diseases will appear, seriously affecting everyone's daily life and work. There are many types of gynecological diseases, and relaxation of the internal cervical os is one of them, and it is also a relatively common one. So what is the cause of relaxation of the internal cervical os? Everyone wants to know this question. Here I will give you a brief introduction to this issue, hoping it can help everyone.

What is the cause of cervical relaxation?

The causes of cervical relaxation can be divided into two categories: congenital and acquired. Congenital cervical relaxation is caused by the mother taking certain drugs during pregnancy or other reasons that lead to incomplete development of the female uterus; acquired cervical relaxation is caused by birth trauma, too many curettages or frequent perineal examinations.

In addition, a short cervix may also be one of the causes of cervical relaxation. There are reports that when ultrasound examination shows a short cervix, the chances of miscarriage or premature birth in a pregnancy are greatly increased. But it is possible to get through the pregnancy safely and give birth successfully. Moreover, the length of the cervix is ​​affected by many factors, such as the ratio of cervical muscle and fiber. During pregnancy, as the uterus grows and stretches into the abdominal cavity, the cervix may also become shorter.

The main clinical feature of congenital cervical relaxation is that premature birth or miscarriage occurs in every pregnancy; while acquired cervical relaxation is characterized by increasingly earlier and earlier occurrences of premature birth or miscarriage, or normal pregnancy and delivery at the beginning, but then premature birth or miscarriage occurs for some reason.

There is currently no drug treatment for uterine os relaxation, and the role of surgical treatment is still controversial. Because some pregnant women who have undergone cerclage surgery experience cervical rupture during delivery, which makes delivery and treatment difficult.

The above is an introduction to the causes of cervical internal os relaxation. I hope the above introduction will be helpful to everyone. In fact, no matter what the cause of cervical relaxation, patients should actively seek treatment and maintain an optimistic attitude. This will be of great help in the recovery of the disease, and the same is true for other diseases.
