What Is Cervical Cerclage?<\/h2>

Cervical cerclage<\/strong> is a medical procedure performed during pregnancy to help prevent premature birth<\/strong> caused by a weakened or incompetent cervix. At Sarkar Hospital, Agra<\/strong>, cervical cerclage is performed by experienced obstetricians to help keep the cervix closed and protect the pregnancy until full term.<\/p>

During this procedure, strong sutures (stitches) are placed around the cervix to keep it tightly closed, reducing the risk of early dilation and preterm delivery.<\/p>

The cervix is the lower opening of the uterus. A cervical cerclage works like a drawstring, holding the cervix closed and safely supporting the growing baby inside the uterus.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Why Is Cervical Cerclage Performed?<\/strong><\/h3>

Your doctor at Sarkar Hospital may recommend cervical cerclage if you are at high risk of preterm birth due to cervical weakness. Common reasons include:<\/p>

Incompetent or weakened cervix<\/strong><\/p>

Previous cervical surgeries such as LEEP or cone biopsy<\/strong><\/p>

History of second-trimester miscarriages<\/strong><\/p>

Recurrent pregnancy loss due to cervical dilation<\/p>

Structural abnormalities of the uterus or cervix<\/p>

Cervical cerclage is usually performed between 12 and 14 weeks of pregnancy<\/strong>, before the cervix begins to shorten or open.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
