Will cervical laceration cause cervical adhesion?

Cervical lacerations may lead to cervical adhesions, but not all lacerations will cause adhesions. If cervical lacerations are not treated in time or heal poorly, they may cause inflammation or scar tissue formation, leading to cervical adhesions. The key to prevention and treatment is to repair lacerations in time, control infection and promote healing.

1. Causes of cervical laceration

Cervical lacerations are common during childbirth, especially during difficult labor, when the fetus is too large, or when forceps are used for delivery. Artificial abortion or improper intrauterine surgery may also cause cervical lacerations. If the laceration is not treated in time, the wound may become infected or heal poorly, forming scar tissue and increasing the risk of cervical adhesions.

2. The formation mechanism of cervical adhesion

Cervical adhesions are usually caused by excessive fibrous tissue produced during local tissue repair after cervical laceration, resulting in partial or complete closure of the cervical canal. Inflammatory reactions, infections, or surgical trauma can accelerate this process. Adhesions may affect menstrual discharge and even lead to infertility or recurrent miscarriage.

3. Prevention and treatment measures

Repair lacerations promptly: After delivery or surgery, if cervical lacerations are found, they should be sutured and repaired promptly to avoid wound infection or poor healing.

Control infection: Pay attention to personal hygiene after surgery or delivery, and use antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor to prevent infection.

Promote healing: Supplementing with vitamin C and protein can help wound healing; avoid strenuous exercise to reduce cervical pressure.

Surgical treatment: If adhesions have formed, hysteroscopic surgery can be used to separate the adhesions and restore cervical patency. Regular follow-up is required after surgery to prevent recurrence.

Drug treatment: Use estrogen ointment or gel to promote the repair of cervical mucosa and reduce scar formation.

After cervical laceration, the healing process needs to be closely monitored. If symptoms such as abnormal menstruation, abdominal pain or infertility occur, medical attention should be sought promptly. Through scientific prevention and treatment, the risk of cervical adhesion can be effectively reduced and women's reproductive health can be protected.
