Suggest Treatment For Low Cervical Length During Pregnancy
Hello doctor I am 20 weeks pregnant and detected with short cervix length that is around 2.7 cm am on complete bedrest for ten 10 days and on duvadilan 40 mg twice a day and susten gel to applied once would I still need to undergo a cerclage procedure or I can recover naturally if yes would you be able to travel further ??
Normal cervix length is more than 4 cm which is necessary to hold you baby. Your length is 2.7 cm and it is very low. Cerclage is an operation which tightens the cervix. Thereby it increases the capacity to hold the baby. It is the only problem during pregnancy. It won't be a problem in your normal life. So after cerclage, avoid strenuous activities and long distance travelling. Take your medicine timely.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Lk.tata.lk
