What Is The Cause Of Spotting Brown After Getting Cervical Cerclage?
Hi, I had a cervical cerclage at 13 weeks as a precaution since I had a conization 4 years ago. All went well till my 24th week. I started spotting brown specially in the morning. Was fully checked and my Dr had one and only explanation, that my cerclage stitches are being pressed by the baby pressure. I was fine for one full week then it came again but this time with pink spotting, that is intense in the morning when I wipe and started to lessen during the day, but this time the spotting stayed for 2 days, I don t know if am imagining things but the quantity of discharge seems to increase. I am not so very convinced with my Dr explanation, cerclage is done to prevent problems not to cause one. Can you please help diagonize my situation

hi thanks for writing to us
cervical en circlage is the stitch put to prevent the cerrvix from dilation when cervix is short due to many reasons
when there is infection brownish discharge can be a cause
if placenta is lowlying there can be spotting
if there is no abdominal pain,or frank bleeding there is nothing to worry
just observe for bleeding
avoid straining too much
hope for the best
