Will the cervix close after separation?

The pregnancy conditions of every expectant mother are different. Some expectant mothers will experience obvious discomfort, and may not eat or sleep well every day. However, some expectant mothers do not have this phenomenon, and every expectant mother has her own discomfort, just like why some people's cervix separates during pregnancy? Now let us understand it together.

Why does the cervix separate during pregnancy?

Cervical separation is not a disease, it is nothing serious and does not require treatment. It is a sign of secretion or blood in the cervical canal. If it is during menstruation, this separation may be caused by blood. If it is the ovulation period, this kind of separation is caused by a lot of secretions in the cervix, and you don't have to think of it as a disease for any reason. The cervical canal is closed during normal pregnancy and should not separate. It is recommended that you combine other tests or follow-up visits for your condition. Cervical separation is common in cervical laceration, blood accumulation, tumor, cervical pregnancy, etc. You should ask your doctor to see if the fetus has signs of premature birth. If you take tocolytic drugs, you must take them under the guidance of a doctor. The separation of the cervical canal may be caused by inflammation or swelling, so there is no need to worry too much.

Recommendation: If there is cervical inflammation, actively treat the cervical inflammation, and do TCT and HPV tests on the cervix. This is a precancerous screening for cervical cancer. Women of childbearing age must be checked. If there is no abnormality, you can return for a follow-up visit after the menstrual period is over. Generally, women with a short cervix and a relaxed cervical os should undergo cerclage at 14-16 weeks of pregnancy. In your case, it is obviously too late. The key thing to do now is to rest in bed as much as possible, and sleep on the left side of the pregnant woman to reduce spontaneous uterine contractions, increase uterine blood volume, improve placental function, and increase fetal oxygen supply and nutrition; sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited to prevent placental abruption; maintain smooth bowel movements and prevent constipation. There is no perfect solution for this situation, and it is definitely best to stay in bed and rest.

Cervical bleeding during gynecological examination

1. Cervical erosion: Since more purulent secretions are discharged during the cervical inflammation period, the cervical hematoma soaks the epithelial cells of the external os of the cervix, causing them to lose vitality and cause shedding and ulceration, which is the granular and shiny red area around the external os of the cervix that is often seen in clinical examination - cervical erosion.

2. Cervical cyst: Inflammation is the cause of cysts. Cervical hematoma is a cyst from the cervical canal mucosa. It is soft, red, and sensitive. It bleeds when pressed lightly and can be detected during a gynecological examination. Large cysts can cause excessive vaginal discharge, bloody vaginal discharge or irregular bleeding, especially bleeding during intercourse or after straining during bowel movements. These symptoms are similar to early cervical hematoma.

3. Cervical ectropion: The cervix may be torn during labor, induced labor, or miscarriage. If the cervical ectropion is not repaired promptly by surgery, the scar tissue may atrophy and cause the cervical opening to ectropion. If cervical hematoma is combined with infection, it will cause introverted cervicitis, with purulent discharge and irregular bleeding. What is the cause of cervical hematoma? It is caused by cervical ectropion.
