Hi,

Duphaston does not prevent cervical dilatation or onset of labor's. As the labor's pains start, the stitches are removed to allow cervical dilatation. LSCS may be needed in some patient.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
