Rupture of the cervix - causes
During childbirth, sometimes complications arise, which include a rupture of the cervix - a violation of the integrity of the cervix when a child passes through it. The rupture of the cervix can be of various sizes - length and depth. Superficial cracks with a length of no more than 1 cm do not require surgical intervention, they heal on their own. For the treatment of sufficiently long and deep ruptures, surgical intervention is required, otherwise severe blood loss, scarring and deformation of the cervix and body of the uterus are possible.
The causes of cervical ruptures during childbirth are:
- large fetus with a large head;
- rapid labor;
- inflammatory processes in the tissues of the cervix, which lead to loss of elasticity;
- anomalies of labor, in which the process of cervical dilatation is impaired;
- improper provision of obstetric care ;
- the use of a medical instrument in childbirth - the application of forceps, vacuum extraction of the fetus;
- loss of tissue elasticity due to age-related changes.
Rupture of the cervix occur more often during the first birth than during subsequent ones.
Symptoms, diagnosis and treatment
The main symptom of a ruptured cervix is bleeding, especially if it occurs or worsens after the baby is born with a good uterine contraction. To make a diagnosis, a gynecological examination is usually carried out using mirrors.
For tears longer than one or two centimeters, they are sutured with a self-absorbable material (catgut). The suture is applied transvaginally. If the rupture has complications, a laparotomy operation may be recommended, in which bleeding stops and hematomas are removed.
If the rupture of the cervix is not treated in a timely manner, scars and deformities form on the cervix, which can lead to problems with conception, violation of the protective function of the cervical mucosa. In this case, the scars are removed, for which they use methods such as:
- electrocoagulation;
- laser ablation;
- conization of the cervix with a knife, electrosurgical, laser or loop method.
All types of medical care related to the treatment of cervical rupture and its consequences are provided by specialists in Israeli medical centers. The cost of treatment depends on the type of operation and the complexity of the procedure.
