How many times can I have a cesarean? What's the limit? What
is dangerous after cesarean? Such questions are frequently asked especially by
patients with cesarean section. Especially patients who have had their first birth
by cesarean and want many children are wondering how many times they can be
cesarean.
The generally accepted view among obstetricians on this
matter is that the risk increases after 3 cesarean sections. Because the
adhesions in the abdomen increase more with each operation and these may create
difficulties in the next surgery. In addition, as the number of cesarean
increases, the rate of placenta previa and placenta accreta increases are
observed. These are risky situations. These do not mean that there is no risk
in the first 3 cesarean sections. There is a risk in every surgery. There are
some risks even in the first cesarean. However, as the number of cesarean
increases, the risk increases more especially in the 4th cesarean section. For
this reason, it should not be done unless it is compulsory including the first
cesarean and normal delivery should always be prioritized.
