What are the causes of uterine hernia?
The likely causes of uterine hernia include:
· Thinning of the uterine wall resulting from multiple previous births, especially repeated cesarean sections.
· Thinning of the uterine wall due to other reasons such as the removal of fibroids or adenomyosis.
· Inadequate suturing of the cesarean incision, either by not following the standard multilayer technique or using only a single layer — this is considered a major factor in the development of a uterine niche or hernia.
· Surgical incision of the uterus made too close to the cervix or directly into the cervix.
· Previous surgical activity that caused uterine stretching.
· Presence of adhesions between the uterus, bladder, and the anterior abdominal wall.
