Cervical rupture: causes and consequences
During labour, complications can occur, one of which is a rupture - tissue damage that occurs when the baby passes through the birth canal. The size can vary in length and depth. Small superficial fissures (up to 1 cm) heal on their own, while more significant ruptures require surgical intervention. Otherwise, it is possible to develop complications - blood loss, scarring and tissue deformation.
Why does the cervix rupture?
Themain factors that can lead to a violation of tissue integrity:
- a large fetus with a large head;
- rapid course of labour;
- inflammatory processes;
- violations of cervical opening;
- errors of obstetric care;
- the use of medical instruments (imposition of forceps, vacuum extraction);
- age-related changes.
Symptoms, diagnosis and treatment
The main sign of damage is bleeding, which can occur immediately after or intensify after some time. Diagnosis is carried out during a gynaecological examination with the use of mirrors.
If the damage exceeds 1-2 cm, suturing with self-absorbing threads is performed. Sutures are applied transvaginally. In complicated cases, a laparotomy may be required to stop bleeding and remove haematomas.
In the absence of timely treatment, scars may form, which leads to problems with conception and a decrease in the protective functions of the mucosa. In such cases, the following are used for recovery:
- electrocoagulation;
- laser ablation;
- conisation (removal of altered areas by laser, loop or knife method).
Treatment of cervical rupture in Israel
One of the causes of the problem is errors in the management of labour. To avoid complications, it is important to choose a qualified specialist and a reliable clinic.
The cost of childbirth in Israel is lower than in Germany, Switzerland and the USA, while the quality of medical care remains at a high level.
Treatment of long-standing ruptures is also possible in Israeli clinics equipped with modern equipment for conization and other destructive methods of tissue repair. All diagnostic measures are performed quickly and efficiently, and prices for procedures remain affordable.
