Overview of Uterine Scar

There are many factors that affect a woman's successful pregnancy, and a good uterine environment is one of them. If there are any abnormalities in the human uterus, it will have a certain impact on the birth of new life. It is necessary to master the relevant knowledge of the disease. So, what does a scarred uterus mean?

A scarred uterus refers to a uterus that has undergone a caesarean section. To put it simply, it means that after surgery, there is a large scar on the uterus. In addition, surgical treatments such as uterine repair, uterine perforation, intramural myomectomy, and rupture repair are also common causes of uterine scars.

Women with a scarred uterus may experience uterine rupture, placenta previa, postpartum hemorrhage, or even dangerous placenta previa during pregnancy. If a pregnant woman with a scarred uterus undergoes a cesarean section to give birth, the probability of intestinal and bladder damage, adhesion aggravation, and poor wound recovery will increase, which will have adverse effects on both the mother and the fetus.

It is more difficult to get pregnant if you have a scarred uterus or have undergone surgery on the uterus. If pregnant, it is more likely to have ectopic pregnancy and uterine rupture. It is recommended to have a prenatal check-up before pregnancy and follow the doctor's instructions to make relevant preparations to reduce the risk of pregnancy and delivery. In the late pregnancy, pay attention to the frequency of fetal movements, 3 to 5 times per hour. In addition, you should usually maintain a positive, optimistic, calm and happy attitude.

What are the harms of a scarred uterus?

First of all, if it is a scarred uterus, the risk of pregnancy will be much higher than that of a normal uterus. You need to know that during pregnancy, the uterus will enlarge due to the growth of the baby, and the endometrium will gradually soften. In addition, the postoperative wound is not elastic and it is easy to rupture, causing internal bleeding in pregnant women and seriously endangering their lives.

In addition, although women with uterine scars will not show any symptoms under normal circumstances, they may experience unexplained vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain and other symptoms. If they become pregnant, if the embryo implants in the scar area, in order to avoid threatening the lives of the pregnant woman and the baby, doctors generally recommend abortion, so uterine scars must be taken seriously.
