What are the precautions for scarred uterus?

What are the precautions for women with scarred uterus? Many women have scarred uterus. If they want to get pregnant again after their first caesarean section, they must wait for three years. If pregnancy occurs too early, especially when the fertilized egg implants in the scar of the uterus, it is easy to cause uterine rupture as the fetus grows. If not treated in time, it may even endanger the life of the mother.

Precautions for scarred uterus:

(1) Make good predictions and prepare in advance: Pregnant women with uterine scars should go to the hospital 2 weeks before the due date, because some pregnant women with uterine scars experience spontaneous uterine rupture in the late stages of pregnancy. In addition, before delivery, the doctor will make predictions and preparations for the scarred uterus, such as matching blood and preparing rescue drugs. Especially in the case of prolonged or stagnant labor, the doctor will promptly evaluate the delivery conditions of the mother and adjust to a cesarean section if the conditions are not suitable for natural delivery. At this time, the mother should pay attention to be mentally prepared and actively cooperate with the doctor's delivery management.

(2) Avoid making the cesarean section incision at the original scar: When performing a cesarean section, the doctor will take care to avoid making the incision at the original scar of the mother's uterus to prevent bleeding at the original scar and poor healing of the incision after surgery.

(3) Precautions during surgery: During delivery, the doctor will pay special attention to the mother’s condition, as most uterine scars are prone to abdominal adhesions during the second surgery. Therefore, during the surgery, the doctor will pay special attention to being gentle and careful, slowly separating the adhesions to avoid damaging surrounding organs.

(4) Postoperative precautions: After delivery, you should rest, maintain a good diet and personal hygiene, and avoid infection. At the same time, avoid making large movements to prevent the wound from tearing and forming a uterine scar again.
