Does cervical cerclage hurt?

Cerclage can be painful to some extent. Although anesthesia is given during cerclage, patients may still feel some discomfort and traction during the procedure. After all, surgery is an invasive procedure, and anesthesia does not completely eliminate all feelings. Pain may occur at the wound site after surgery as the anesthetic effect wears off, especially with changes in activity, posture, etc. This pain can usually be relieved by appropriate analgesic measures. Pain perception and tolerance vary from person to person. Some patients may find pain more pronounced, while others may tolerate it relatively well. It should be emphasized that although cervical cerclage may cause pain, it is important not to be ignored because of fear of pain. For pregnant women with cervical insufficiency, cervical cerclage is an important treatment measure, which can effectively reduce the risk of premature birth and is of critical significance to ensure the healthy development of the fetus.

Before surgery, doctors will fully communicate with patients to inform them of the necessity, possible risks and pain of surgery. After surgery, doctors will pay close attention to the patient's pain and give corresponding treatment to minimize the patient's discomfort. Patients should actively cooperate with doctors 'treatment and care to obtain good surgical results.
