Product Description
Cervical Incompetence Scan
A transvaginal ultrasound pelvic scan to assess the appearance, length and funnelling of the cervix and identify cervical incompetence which is a risk factor for late pregnancy miscarriage, premature labour or premature rupture of the membranes.
Important for women who have had extensive treatment to their cervix such as LLETZ which can cause cervical incompetence and lead to late miscarriage and preterm birth.
If there are early signs of cervical incompetence a vaginal or abdominal cervical stitch, cervical cerclage or cervical suture can be inserted to reduce the risk.
