Cesarean section: pros and cons

Cesarean section is a cavitary operation that allows you to remove the baby from the womb, through a cut made in the abdominal wall and uterus. But do cesarean section at the request of a pregnant woman? This question interests more than many.

Indications for caesarean section

The doctor decides to carry out the operation only if the woman has appropriate testimony. Among them are: the impossibility of natural delivery or the presence of diseases that are a threat to health, as well as, life:

• first of all, this is an incorrect presentation of the fetus before childbirth, which hinders the baby's exit;
• cranio-pelvic disproportion, because of which the large head of the baby does not pass through the narrow pelvis of the mother. Usually, this fact is diagnosed during childbirth;
• prolapse of umbilical cord. It threatens with the death of the child, if at the exit it will transmit the umbilical cord and block the access of oxygen;
• abruption or placenta previa. There is a high risk of severe bleeding;
• protracted birth. The decision on cesarean section is taken with weak wads and no progress in opening the cervix;
• one of the most common causes of surgery - hypoxia, lack of oxygen;
• presence of chronic diseases of the genital tract, myopia, diabetes, kidney, lung or heart diseases;
• multiple pregnancy.

Cesarean section of the positive side

1. Among the benefits of caesarean section are the very fact of the birth of a baby whose birth naturally threatened the health of both the baby and his mother. It is difficult to talk about the pros and cons of Caesarean section, if it is a question of life. The consequences of caesarean section for a child are life.
2. The second advantage is the absence of ruptures and stitches in the crotch and vagina. Thanks to this, the woman does not subsequently have problems of a sexual nature. Also, there is no collapse of the bladder, exacerbation of hemorrhoids and rupture of the cervix.
3. Childbirth passes quickly and painlessly, as surgical intervention is performed under general anesthesia or with the help of epidural anesthesia.

Caesarean section negative

1. The operation is often accompanied by epidural anesthesia. But, as soon as the narcosis stops, the woman experiences a pain much stronger, according to the mothers, than with natural childbirth.
2. Any operation is stress for the human body. It is difficult to envisage all the consequences of a cesarean section for a woman. First, you have to endure a lot of pain. Secondly, a wound on the abdomen causes certain inconveniences. Thirdly, the recovery takes quite a long time. Fourthly, cesarean section is accompanied by bleeding, much stronger than in normal births.
3. In the first time after surgery, a woman can not take a newborn baby in her arms. Coping with the child until the wound is healed will be difficult.
4. All these facts have a depressing effect on the psychological state of the mother. Sometimes, she does not have a special connection with the child.
5. Sex after cesarean section is allowed no earlier than 1 to 1.5 months.
6. The appearance of a woman will be ruined by an unattractive suture on her stomach.
7. The presence of caesarean section in the past is an indication for the application of the operation at the next birth.

Of course, natural delivery is preferable for both the mother and the baby. Proceeding from all stated, doctors resort to Caesarean section in extreme cases, when the pros and cons of the operation are receding to the side.
