Maternal care for cervical incompetence - what does this mean
Cervical incompetence is a condition in which the cervix begins to open prematurely during pregnancy, resulting in miscarriage or preterm labor. it is typically caused by weak or damaged cervical tissue, which can be due to trauma, prior surgery, or a congenital defect. maternal care for cervical incompetence involves close monitoring and potential treatments such as a cervical cerclage, which is a surgical procedure to close the cervix and prevent preterm labor.
What happens during the disease - maternal care for cervical incompetence
Cervical incompetence is a condition in which the cervix is weakened and unable to support a pregnancy. it is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, including maternal age, previous trauma to the cervix, and hormonal imbalances. during pregnancy, the weakened cervix may not be able to hold the baby in the uterus and can lead to premature birth or miscarriage. maternal care for cervical incompetence involves monitoring the cervix for changes in length and strength, and providing supportive care to reduce the risk of preterm birth.
