Fetus and newborn affected by incompetent cervix - what does this mean
Incompetent cervix is a condition where the cervix, the lower part of the uterus, is weak and unable to stay closed during pregnancy. this can lead to premature labor, miscarriage, or other complications. it is usually diagnosed in the second trimester when the woman experiences painless dilation of the cervix, followed by signs of labor. treatment may include bed rest, medications, or a surgical procedure to keep the cervix closed.
What happens during the disease - fetus and newborn affected by incompetent cervix
Incompetent cervix is a condition in which the cervix is unable to remain closed during pregnancy, leading to premature delivery. it is caused by a weakened cervix due to the lack of connective tissue, which is normally responsible for keeping the cervix closed. this can lead to premature labor and delivery, as well as other complications such as infection, bleeding, or miscarriage. the fetus and newborn can then be affected by the premature delivery, leading to low birth weight, prematurity, and other health risks.
