cerclage complications

Cerclage is a surgical procedure where a stitch is placed around the cervix to help prevent premature birth. While generally safe, it can have some complications. Infections might develop, causing fever or discomfort. The stitch can sometimes cause cervical tissue damage or irritation. Rarely, it can lead to bleeding or the cervix opening too early. In some cases, the procedure may trigger contractions or labor. After removal, there's a small risk that the cervix might not stay closed, increasing the chance of early delivery. Most complications are manageable with medical care, but close monitoring is essential to ensure the health of both mother and baby.
