Supporting Your Pregnancy with Gentle, Expert Care
Pregnancy is a delicate journey, and in some cases, the cervix may begin to open too early, increasing the risk of preterm birth or miscarriage. A cervical cerclage is a procedure designed to help women with an incompetent cervix, offering support when it’s needed most.
Dr. Mahsa Aghaei’s gynecology facilities provide holistic and personalized care to women who need cervical cerclage in Dubai. She has an excellent reputation for being a professional in high-risk pregnancy cases, and she offers advice in a clear and compassionate manner.
What Is Cervical Cerclage?
Cervical cerclage, also known as a cervical stitch procedure, is performed by placing a surgical stitch around the cervix to ensure that it remains sealed during pregnancy. It is normally prescribed to women who have a:
- Past history of second-trimester losses
- Short cervix confirmed by cervical length monitoring
- Progressive cervical change within 24 weeks of pregnancy
This is not a routine procedure, but when there is a definite medical reason, it is carefully considered with the well-being of both the mother and the child in mind.
When Is It Needed?
Dr. Mahsa assesses each case by using a detailed history and ultrasound examination. Cerclage can be recommended as follows:
- History-Indicated Cerclage: In case of women with a history of loss of pregnancy that was due to cervical insufficiency.
- Ultrasound-Indicated Cerclage: In cases of a shortening cervix under ultrasound cervix length monitoring, particularly before the 24th week.
- Emergency or rescue cerclage: when the cervix has begun to dilate prematurely.
All decisions are made with your convenience, protection, and well-being in mind.
What to Expect
The procedure is usually performed between 12 and 24 weeks of pregnancy. Here’s a simple overview:
- Outpatient setting with minimal recovery time
- Use of local or spinal anesthesia
- Gentle placement of a stitch to reinforce the cervix
- Return home the same day in most cases
Dr. Mahsa takes the time to explain every detail and answers any questions you may have, ensuring you feel confident and calm.
Personalized Attention in a Private Setting
One of the key benefits of choosing private cervical cerclage care is the dedicated, one-on-one attention you receive. Dr. Mahsa personally oversees every part of the process – diagnosis, recovery monitoring, and everything in between so you won’t be passed from one provider to another. She is fair, knowledgeable, and extremely respectful of the fact that high-risk pregnancies are usually very emotional processes.
Follow-Up Care
Following the procedure, it is important to constantly monitor the length of the cervix so as to know that the stitch is working and that the cervix is stable. Dr. Mahsa is closely involved in each follow-up and monitors your progress until you have to get the stitches out, normally in the 37th week.
