What is a bad cervical condition?

Poor cervical condition refers to the texture, maturity, position, degree of dilation and other aspects of the cervix are not conducive to childbirth. 1. Texture, may be hard. Under normal circumstances, the cervix will become soft near childbirth, in order to facilitate uterine dilation. However, if the texture of the cervix is hard, it will increase the difficulty of cervical dilation during childbirth, which may lead to slow or even stagnation of labor. 2. Mature cervix is easier to dilate during labor, while immature cervix may not be able to adapt to the process of labor well, affecting the smooth progress of labor. 3. Position such as excessive cervical anteversion or retroversion. It may cause certain obstacles to the fetus passing through the birth canal, which may adversely affect labor. 4. Degree of dilation For example, if the cervix fails to dilate as scheduled during labor, it will lead to poor labor progress after labor starts and prolong labor time. When it is found that the cervical condition is not good, the doctor will usually evaluate and treat it according to the specific situation. Some measures may be taken to improve the cervical condition, such as using drugs to promote cervical ripening, etc., to ensure smooth labor. At the same time, pregnant women also need to closely cooperate with doctors' guidance and monitoring to ensure their own and fetal health and safety.
