Cervical Stitch in Pregnancy | Cervical Cerclage, Causes, Procedure & Success Rate

What is a Cervical Stitch in Pregnancy? Why do doctors recommend a Cervical Cerclage? How does this procedure help in preventing miscarriage and preterm delivery? In this video, Dr. Smita Dhengle explains everything about Cervical Stitch (Cervical Cerclage) — its meaning, procedure, timing, success rate, and precautions during pregnancy. During pregnancy, the cervix normally remains closed and opens only during labor. In some women, the cervix opens earlier than expected, which can lead to mid-trimester miscarriage or premature birth. To prevent this, doctors place a Cervical Stitch under anesthesia in the operation theatre. 🔹 Types of Cervical Cerclage: Prophylactic Cervical Stitch – placed early in pregnancy if there is a history of repeated miscarriages (15–24 weeks). Emergency Cervical Stitch – done if ultrasound shows cervix opening or bag of membranes visible. ✅ The success rate of Cervical Cerclage is about 80–90%. The stitch is usually removed at around 36 weeks before delivery. After the procedure, doctors advise rest, progesterone support, and regular check-ups for a safe pregnancy journey. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ Dr. Smita Dhengle Fetal Medicine Specialist Her Health Hospital Bhopal, Chinar Fortune City, Hoshangabad Road, Bhopal Website:- https://fetalmedicinespecialist.com/ Email :- drsmita76@gmail.com Appointment: 6263313346 Media Managed by Ankit Sahu: (+91 9713385080) ______________________________________________________________________________________ #CervicalStitch #CervicalCerclage #PregnancyCare #MiscarriagePrevention #PretermDelivery #PregnancyTips #CervicalStitchInPregnancy #PregnancyAwareness _______________________________________________________________________________________ Cervical Stitch in Pregnancy, Cervical Cerclage, Cervical Cerclage Procedure, Cervical Cerclage Success Rate, Cervical Stitch Explained, Cervical Stitch for Miscarriage, Cervical Stitch for Preterm Delivery, Pregnancy Cervical Stitch, Cervical Stitch Removal, Pregnancy Care Tips, Miscarriage Prevention in Pregnancy, Preterm Delivery Causes, Pregnancy Health, Dr Smita Dhengle
