What does scarred uterus mean?

What does a scarred uterus mean? A scarred uterus is a scar left after the uterus suffers external damage. Generally, older women have a scarred uterus, because many older women choose to have a cesarean section when giving birth. We all know that a cesarean section will cause certain damage to the uterus. Women with scar constitutions are most likely to have a scarred uterus. If women with a scarred uterus want to have another child, they have to think carefully because the risk index is very high.

The childbirth of mothers with uterine scars is different from that of the general population, and there are many things that need to be paid attention to. So what are the common problems with uterine scar?

During the delivery process, you need to pay attention to the following situations:

(1) Make good preparations for childbirth: Pregnant women with scars and uterus should see a doctor at a hospital 2 weeks before the due date, because some pregnant women with uterine scars and eventually spontaneous uterine rupture will also get pregnant. The doctor will predict and prepare for the scarred uterus, especially in the case of long-term labor or termination of labor. The doctor will promptly assess the pregnant woman's delivery status and adjust to a cesarean section. At this time, the mother must pay attention to adequate preparation and closely cooperate with the doctor's instructions for delivery.

(2) Avoid making an incision on the original scar during cesarean section: During cesarean section, the doctor will take care to avoid making an incision on the original scar of the uterus to prevent bleeding from the original scar and poor wound healing after surgery.

(3) Common problems during surgery: During the delivery process, the doctor will take the pregnant woman's condition into consideration. Because the number of intrauterine scars is the highest during the second surgery and abdominal adhesions are more likely to occur, gentleness and caution are required during surgery.

(4) Common problems after surgery: After giving birth, pregnant women should pay attention to rest, maintain a good diet and personal health care, and prevent infection. And don't do too much exercise to prevent the wound from causing uterine scarring again.

When a woman suffers from uterine scars, she must first choose the best delivery method based on her own condition and the doctor's advice. During the entire process of delivery, cooperate closely with the doctor to avoid serious threats such as uterine rupture and bleeding.
