OS Tightening
Ensuring a Healthy Pregnancy with Advanced Cervical SupportAt Vidula Nursing Home & Fertility Clinic, we provide specialized OS Tightening procedures to support women at risk of cervical insufficiency. This treatment is crucial for maintaining a healthy pregnancy by preventing premature dilation of the cervix, which can lead to preterm labor or pregnancy loss.
What is OS Tightening?
OS Tightening, also known as Cervical Cerclage, is a surgical procedure where the cervix is reinforced with sutures to help it stay closed during pregnancy. This procedure is often recommended for women with a weak or incompetent cervix that cannot naturally support the weight of a growing baby.
Who Needs OS Tightening?
- Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
- Cervical Insufficiency
- History of Preterm labor
- Multiple Pregnancies
When is OS Tightening Performed?
- Elective Cerclage: Done between 12-14 weeks of pregnancy for women with a known history of cervical insufficiency.
- Emergency Cerclage: Performed later in pregnancy if the cervix begins to open prematurely but no signs of labor are present.
