Hi…I had read an article about Incompetent Cervix.I wish to share my knowledge about the topic,which may help your friend. Cervical incompetence means a cervix that is too weak to stay closed during a pregnancy. Normally,during pregnancy, the cervix remains closed until go into labor.At that point,the cervix begin to dilate in order to allow baby to pass through the birth canal and be delivered.In women who have an incompetent cervix,though, the cervix is unable to remain closed for the entire nine months. Therefore resulting in a premature birth and possibly the loss of the baby,because of the shortened gestational length. Diagnosis can be made either manually or with ultrasonography. The factors that increase the chance of suffering from an incompetence cervix are: DES exposure,Cervical Trauma,Hormonal influences,Congenitally short cervix,Forced D & C and Uterine anomalies. Treatment:-Incompetent cervix can be treated through a procedure known as cervical cerclage.This simple treatment involves sewing up cervix with stitches.A cerclage will help to reinforce cervix,allowing continuing pregnancy to term. Cerclage is usually done between 14 and 16 weeks of pregnancy.In order to be able to give birth, though, those stitches will obviously need to come out.Cervical cerclage sutures are typically removed between 36 and 38 weeks pregnant.Although the initial procedure is done under some type of anesthetic,either local or general,and may require an overnight hospital stay,removing the cerclage stitches can be done in doctor’s office and shouldn’t be too painful. Consult a good doctor and discuss with him about the diagnosis and treatment methods. and go through the proper way to deliver a healthy baby. may god bless your friend
