In daily life, some women may find that their cervix is short after pregnancy, which indicates premature birth and prevents them from smoothly delivering. Especially when pregnant with twins, the commonly used method for this situation is cervical cerclage. However, some pregnant women did not see any effect after using cervical cerclage. So they want to know why cervical cerclage for twins is not effective?
If a woman's cervical condition is not good during pregnancy, she needs to undergo cervical cerclage surgery. If the cerclage surgery is not performed in a timely manner, the fetus may not reach full term and may give birth. Therefore, in order to conceive and have children, especially twins, cervical cerclage surgery must be performed. This surgery itself does not cause any harm to the body. This surgery does not require anesthesia or medication. This surgical procedure takes only ten minutes and is performed when there are no obvious contractions. However, this surgery may fail and a second surgery can be performed.
There are no contraindications for cervical cerclage, but the only downside is the possibility of miscarriage failure. Therefore, after undergoing cervical cerclage surgery, it is necessary to take medication to protect the pregnancy and then rest in bed to ensure full term pregnancy. But it's not absolute bed rest, just timely bed rest is enough.
For women with short cervix, in addition to cervical cerclage, cervical pads can also be used. It can prevent premature birth in pregnant women with short cervix. However, whether it is cervical cerclage or cervical brace, it is recommended to go to the hospital where the decision to give birth is made.
