What is the cause of cesarean section incision diverticulum?

Caesarean section incision diverticulum is a phenomenon left over after caesarean section. This is like a small room, but it is very harmful. It may cause prolonged menstruation in mothers, abnormal uterine bleeding, and even chronic pelvic pain, etc. It may also easily induce female infertility. Therefore, if this type of incisional diverticulum appears, it should be treated in time to avoid more adverse effects on health.

Causes of Caesarean Section Diverticulum

The incidence rate is about 20% or even higher. Its formation is closely related to factors such as the location of the cesarean section incision, incision tearing, poor apposition, number of cesarean sections, perioperative infection, suturing method, and of course, factors related to the mother herself.

Diverticula are small spaces that form on the front wall of the uterus during scar repair. Many people who buy a new house try to expand it a little, such as building a balcony or adding a single room to make full use of the entire house. But what if the uterus where the fetus lives has an extra small room called a "diverticulum"?

The appearance of this small room is no longer as simple as a gynecological disease. Although it is just an inconspicuous "small room", its existence can cause patients to have abnormal uterine bleeding such as prolonged menstruation and intermenstrual vaginal bleeding. A few cases may manifest as chronic pelvic pain and secondary infertility. When pregnant again, uterine rupture and scar pregnancy may occur, which are more dangerous situations. For patients like Ms. Wang, the only hope of becoming pregnant again is to remove and close the small room.

Women who have had cesarean section should pay attention to irregular menstruation

Uterine incisional diverticulum has not attracted widespread attention and concern so far. After the two-child policy, many mothers who have had cesarean sections are preparing to have a second child, but suddenly find that they have such symptoms: why the menstrual period is suddenly prolonged, why the vaginitis cannot be cured for a long time, and blood flows out of the vagina after intercourse, but the blood is not bright red, and sometimes it is mistakenly thought to be menstruation. Director Gu said that the scar at the lower end of the uterine incision diverticulum retains menstrual blood, which leads to prolonged menstruation, vaginal bleeding between menstruation, and even infertility and dysmenorrhea. This is why a sudden stream of blood comes out during sexual intercourse.

For mothers with a history of cesarean section, if they experience menstrual abnormalities some time after the operation, especially if the menstrual cycle is normal but the menstrual period is prolonged or continuous, they should pay attention to whether there is a "small room" in the uterus. Women with symptoms must go to the hospital for consultation and use vaginal B-ultrasound, hysterosalpingography, hysteroscopy and other methods to confirm and exclude the disease as early as possible for detection and treatment. At the same time, do not underestimate this disease. It is not an ordinary gynecological disease. You must ask a professional doctor to perform the surgery, so that the protection of the patient's reproductive function can be more professional.
