Cervical Incompetence

Cervical Incompetence

Cervical incompetence, also known as cervical insufficiency, is a condition where the cervix opens too early during pregnancy, increasing the risk of late miscarriage or preterm birth. With timely diagnosis and care, healthy outcomes are possible.

What is Cervical Incompetence?

Cervical incompetence is a condition in which the cervix weakens and opens without pain or contractions during the second trimester, leading to pregnancy loss or premature birth.

It often goes unnoticed until complications occur, making early evaluation extremely important.

When Should You Suspect It?

  • Repeated second-trimester pregnancy losses
  • Painless cervical dilation in previous pregnancy
  • History of premature delivery
  • Short cervix seen on ultrasound

Causes of Cervical Incompetence

Congenital Weak Cervix

Cervix weak from birth.

Previous Cervical Surgery

D&C, cone biopsy or LEEP.

Trauma During Delivery

Cervical injury in prior childbirth.

Multiple Pregnancies

Twins or higher-order pregnancies.

Uterine Abnormalities

Structural reproductive issues.

Hormonal Factors

Progesterone deficiency.

Diagnosis & Evaluation

  • Detailed obstetric history
  • Transvaginal ultrasound (cervical length)
  • Monitoring during early pregnancy

Detecting cervical incompetence early allows preventive treatment that can significantly reduce the risk of pregnancy loss or preterm birth.
