Female friends need to open the cervix during vaginal delivery, usually when it reaches ten fingers, they can start giving birth. Some female friends may experience a prolonged period of unclosed uterine opening after giving birth, which makes mothers very worried. So, what causes the cervix to not close?
The condition of the cervix not closing after childbirth in women usually occurs in women who give birth vaginally. The reason for this situation is that during the delivery of the fetus from the cervix, there is a possibility of tearing the cervix, and factors such as the size of the fetus and the mother's physical condition can cause varying degrees of cervical tearing.
When a mild tear occurs in the cervix of a woman who gives birth naturally, the recovery is relatively fast, and it can be repaired on its own, presenting a closed and straight shape. If the tear is severe, the recovery of the uterine opening will be slower. During the long recovery process, it is easy for infections to occur, which can slow down the closure of the uterine opening.
Under normal circumstances, the recovery time of the uterus in women after vaginal delivery is about 42 days, which means that the uterus can recover after the postpartum period. At this time, postpartum women need to go to the hospital for examination, which can help them understand the recovery status of their bodies. After discovering that the cervix is not closed, doctors will choose appropriate treatment measures based on the actual situation.
