How do we get it treated effectively?
Late miscarriage is much rarer than its counterpart: early miscarriage. Late miscarriages are so rare that only 1 out of 10 pregnant women suffer from it. In today’s article we discuss the third common cause which is Short Cervix.
As the name suggests, the cervix is in a shorter than optimal length: which is 3.5 – 4.5cm, and this has a high risk of causing a late pregnancy loss due to the cervix opening prematurely dilating. This can either lead to pregnancy loss or premature birth, both of which we must avoid. The former is the loss of a child while the latter is the risk of deformities and deficiencies in the newborn.
The cervix will naturally shorten and gradually soften to anticipate labor towards the end of pregnancy. However, some women have a congenital condition of short cervix, where they are naturally born with it. Some women can acquire this condition from certain surgical procedures such as cervical conization and surgeries of the cervix, even PEP smear. So, it is important to be aware of your medical history and seek proper treatment before pregnancy to avoid complications during pregnancy. It is difficult for doctors to conduct any type of surgery during a late pregnancy, so in which case if this situation, the pregnancy has to be forfeited.
To avoid tragedy, we begin with the most crucial step: diagnosis. Diagnosis of a short cervix is done using ultrasound where your doctor will then be able to measure accurately your cervical length. There are no symptoms for short cervix, so you must undergo this ultrasound examination.
Treatment of a short cervix is done here at Antai Hospital with a highly specialized treatment known as the Double Antai Cervical Ring procedure, which has a 95% chance of preventing late miscarriages. The procedure will be conducted by our surgeons where they will secure 2 cervical rings in the lower segment of the cervical neck using 3D-Laparoscopy. This will achieve a cervical extension into the optimal range, and thus providing vital integrity and support during late pregnancy for our patients.
