Before giving birth, many pregnant women are confused about whether to have a vaginal delivery or a cesarean section. Therefore, some pregnant women may compare vaginal delivery and cesarean section to determine which one is more risky for treatment and decide on the method of delivery. So, which is the higher risk of vaginal delivery and cesarean section? Let's analyze this issue below.
Both vaginal delivery and cesarean section carry certain risks, but the risks of cesarean section are higher than those of vaginal delivery. This is because vaginal delivery is the most ideal delivery method, which not only causes less physical damage to the pregnant woman, but also less damage to the baby. In addition, vaginal delivery allows pregnant women to recover faster after giving birth, take better care of the baby, and the uterus also recovers faster than cesarean section, so they can conceive a second child earlier.
Cesarean section not only causes significant physical damage, but also easily leads to pelvic adhesions, endometriosis of the abdominal wall, and other hazards. It is also prone to risks such as drug allergies and anesthesia accidents during cesarean section surgery, which can result in heavy bleeding in pregnant women. In addition, the recovery of the body after cesarean section is relatively slow, and there is a risk of uterine rupture in the next pregnancy due to scarred uterus.
It can be seen that vaginal delivery has lower risks than cesarean section, so if the fetal development during pregnancy is normal, the pelvic size of the pregnant woman is also suitable for vaginal delivery, and the pregnant woman's physical condition allows, it is generally recommended to have a vaginal delivery. If the fetus is too large, the fetal position is not correct, or the pregnant woman is not suitable for vaginal delivery, a cesarean section can be chosen.
