Atlanta Incompetent Cervix
If you live in one of the communities north of Atlanta and have an Incompetent Cervix, call North Pointe OB/GYN Associates today. Incompetent Cervix is a condition in pregnant women where the cervix becomes weakened and begins to open before the baby is ready to be born. If it is not treated properly, an Incompetent Cervix may lead to a miscarriage or premature delivery.
An Incompetent Cervix may be caused by previous surgery on the Cervix, damage to the cervix during a difficult birth, malformed uterus or cervix from a birth defect, or other traumas to the cervix. A diagnosis of an Incompetent Cervix can be made by a qualified physician using a pelvic exam or an ultrasound. Treatment involves a procedure called a Cerclage where the cervix is sewn closed, usually between weeks fourteen and sixteen, to prevent premature labor. The sutures are removed between weeks thirty-six and thirty-eight to prevent any problems when you go into labor.
