Elective C-section: What is it? Is it safe? Doctor explains
Hindustan TimesElective C-section refers to the process of childbirth through surgery before the start of labour. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr. Shweta Mendiratta, associate director - gynaecology and obstetrics, Marengo Asia Hospital, Faridabad said, “An elective C-section is planned by request of the mother or due to medical indication, not as an emergency measure. Dr. Shweta Mendiratta explained, “Women may want an elective C-section for many reasons, including a past delivery with problems, aversion to labor pains, or personal choice. Sometimes conditions such as placenta previa or problems with fetal positions necessitate a planned C-section.” Is elective C-section safe? The doctor further pointed out the things we should be careful about while opting for elective C-section: Post-operative recovery: Surgery for a C-section makes it major abdominal surgery; therefore, the recovery period is prolonged with pronounced pains and potential risk for movement problems, as opposed to vaginal delivery.
