There are multiple ways for women to give birth, which can be divided into vaginal delivery and cesarean section. There are certain differences between these two delivery methods. When a woman's physical condition cannot meet the requirements for vaginal delivery, she has to choose cesarean section. However, cesarean section poses great harm to women's health. So, how many cesarean sections can a woman undergo in her lifetime?
Women can undergo three cesarean sections in their lifetime, and if they exceed three, the risk of uterine rupture will increase, and the risk factor for women will also increase. However, for women who do not have good physical recovery after cesarean section, it is necessary to reduce the number of cesarean sections.
If women want to conceive after a cesarean section, it is best to wait for at least two years before preparing for pregnancy, because the surgical incision after a cesarean section will not heal quickly in a short period of time, and most women will leave scars after a cesarean section. If pregnant too early, the scars will burst during late pregnancy or delivery, resulting in heavy bleeding and even endangering women's life safety in severe cases.
Women also need to undergo relevant physical examinations before pregnancy. In addition, for the next pregnancy after a cesarean section, women can choose to have a vaginal delivery if conditions permit. If women experience pelvic stenosis, fetal malposition, fetal distress, or fetal enlargement, they have no choice but to undergo another cesarean section.
