Cervical Stitch
Cervical Stitch
Description
When the cervix begins to shorten and open too early during a pregnancy, leading to either a late miscarriage or a preterm birth, the condition known as cervical weakness is treated with a cervical stitch. For a few days following the procedure, it’s normal to experience some cramping and light bleeding or spotting. After a cervical cerclage procedure, you shouldn’t experience much pain — no more than during a typical menstrual cycle.
A cervical stitch may help keep your cervix closed and lower your risk of preterm labour or a late miscarriage. Unless you go into labour earlier, a cervical stitch is typically implanted between 12 and 24 weeks of pregnancy and removed at 36–37 weeks. A common surgical treatment performed during pregnancy is cervical cerclage. It entails placing a suture (stitch) across the womb’s neck (cervix), with the goal of providing the cervix with mechanical support and lowering the risk of preterm birth. For some women, a cervical stitch is not the best option. Prophylactic vaginal progesterone is another therapy option for a fragile cervix. High progesterone dosages aid in delaying the onset of labour. The progesterone will be administered to you as a pessary that is put into your vagina.
