What is uterine scar diverticulum

summary

A girl friend in the cesarean section after the operation has been menstruation, but also to menstruation when the volume is particularly large, and later check is a uterine scar diverticulum, the following and you introduce what is uterine scar diverticulum?

What is uterine scar diverticulum

First of all, the site of the uterine incision is not well developed, and a "small pit" connecting with the uterine cavity is formed at the incision. We call this "small pit" the incision (scar) defect, defect or diverticulum after cesarean section.

Secondly, uterine scar diverticulum mainly appears after cesarean section. The general symptoms are that blood will flow out from the vagina during non menstrual period, sometimes not much, but it will continue to interfere with normal life and affect mood. Sometimes it will be accompanied by increased bleeding and dysmenorrhea after sexual intercourse. Don't take it seriously,

Finally, the main reasons are any factors that interfere with the healing of uterine incision: 1. Posterior position of uterus: it can increase the tension of uterine incision, cause mechanical traction between the upper and lower edges of incision in the healing process, resulting in poor healing of incision and formation of scar defect of incision; 2. Official contraction lasts more than 5 hours before cesarean section, dilatation of uterine orifice ≥ 5 cm, use oxytocin; 3 Incision position: if the position is too high, the uterine body and cervical tissue can appear in the incision at the same time, the upper edge is short and thick, the lower edge is thin and long, and the tension of the upper and lower edge of the incision is different; if the position is too low, the blood supply of the surrounding tissue can be reduced, leading to tissue ischemia, necrosis, and poor wound healing; 4 Suture technology: single layer suture is more likely to have weak links than double layer suture, leading to the formation of wound defects; too close suture can also lead to the reduction of blood supply in the incision, resulting in ischemic necrosis and the formation of potential lacunae.

matters needing attention

The situation of uterine scar diverticulum should be checked and treated in time after it appears. Generally, conservative treatment is mainly drugs. At the same time, patients can also be treated by surgery, and they should also adjust their mood.
