Many women nowadays choose caesarean section to give birth to their babies. During the process of caesarean section, an incision needs to be made in the uterus to pick up the baby, which may result in scars in the future. The thickness measurement of this scar is very important as it can predict whether it can be delivered naturally or continue pregnancy. So, how to measure the thickness of the scarred uterus?
If a woman chooses to give birth to a baby by caesarean section, a scar will form on the uterus, which may also form some diverticulum. Under normal circumstances, the thickness of scars and the condition of diverticula can be determined through color Doppler ultrasound or pelvic MRI examination. However, under normal circumstances, detecting scar thickness without pregnancy is not meaningful, so few people check the thickness of scars under normal conditions.
If a woman is already pregnant, measuring the thickness of scars is of great significance. Because measuring the thickness of scars can determine whether uterine rupture will occur in the future. Uterine rupture has a significant impact on a woman's fertility. If a uterine rupture occurs, the woman cannot continue the pregnancy. At the same time, the thickness of uterine scars can be used to determine whether a woman can undergo vaginal delivery and whether the uterus will rupture during vaginal delivery. However, currently there is no strict and clear consensus on the relationship between scar thickness and vaginal delivery.
