Hi Mercy, are all the parameters like hormone levels, scans, gynaecological examinations done already ? Any issues found? Also are you ovulating properly?

Hi Mercy, I’m so sorry for your loss, and I can imagine how difficult this must be for you. Can you tell me if you experience any pelvic pain, changes in your menstrual cycle, or other urinary symptoms like burning or discomfort? Additionally, do you feel any stress or emotional strain that could be affecting your overall well-being? Understanding these details can help guide a holistic approach to support your reproductive health.

Dear Mercy, I’m deeply sorry for your loss and understand your strong desire to conceive again. Experiencing a uterine rupture during induction after a previous cesarean section (C-section) is a significant event that can impact future pregnancies. Additionally, recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) following your menstrual periods can further complicate your health and fertility. Let’s explore these concerns and discuss potential steps Consultation with gynaecologist • Seek care from a specialist experienced in high-risk pregnancies to evaluate the integrity of your uterine scar and assess your overall reproductive health. Engage in thorough counseling to understand the risks and benefits associated with a subsequent pregnancy, including the timing and mode of delivery. • If you conceive, your pregnancy will likely be closely monitored, with plans for an early-term elective cesarean delivery Experiencing UTIs after your menstrual period can be distressing and may affect your fertility journey. Factors such as hormonal changes, menstrual hygiene products, and residual blood can contribute to bacterial growth, increasing UTI risk. Maintain Proper Hygiene: • Wipe from front to back after using the bathroom to prevent bacterial migration from the anus to the urethra.  • Change sanitary products regularly during menstruation. Stay Hydrated: • Drink plenty of water to help flush out bacteria through regular urination.  • Avoid holding urine for long periods, as this can encourage bacterial growth.  • Urinate before and after sexual activity to flush out bacteria.  Avoid scented products on your genital area, as they can irritate and alter the pH balance, increasing infection susceptibility.  Probiotics may help reduce the recurrence of vaginal and urinary tract infections by promoting a balanced microbiome. Navigating fertility challenges and recurrent health issues can be emotionally taxing. Consider seeking support from counseling services or support groups to help manage stress and maintain mental well-being during this journey. Remember, while these steps can help manage and reduce the risk of complications, it’s crucial to work closely with your healthcare team to develop a personalized plan tailored to your specific health needs and fertility goals. Wishing you strength and success on your path to motherhood. Best regards.
