A scarred pregnancy is one in which the first pregnancy was a cesarean section, and when the pregnancy is repeated, the fertilized egg is deposited in the scar of the uterine incision. Women with scarred pregnancies are at greater risk of having an abortion and are therefore considered major surgery.
Scarring is a type of dysfunctional tissue that does not have the structure, elasticity and blood supply of normal tissue. Scarred pregnancies are prone to hemorrhage and there is a risk of uterine rupture as the fetus grows.
After the diagnosis of scarred pregnancy, the uterus needs to be cleared as soon as possible, and hemorrhage is likely to occur during the operation. Therefore, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital to perform the operation with the help of hysteroscopy, which can reduce the risk of hemorrhage.
Women with scarred pregnancy should pay attention to avoiding infection after the surgery, and consider preparing for pregnancy at least six months after the surgery. When getting pregnant again, ultrasound should be done to observe the location of the gestational sac and the scar to avoid the recurrence of keloid pregnancy.
