Women with History of C-Sections at Greater Risk of Infertility and vice-versa, finds study
Previous research indicates that women who have cesarean deliveries tend to have fewer pregnancies, and this procedure is more common among women with lower fecundability.
A study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology showed a bidirectional relationship between CD and fecundability. There could be common underlying causes, and the surgical procedure may not or partially have a significant or sole impact on fertility.
This study examined the connection between cesarean delivery and fecundability. This prospective cohort study was based on data from the Norwegian Mother, Father, and Child Cohort Study and the Medical Birth Registry of Norway. The fecundability ratio and risk of infertility were estimated by mode of delivery in the previous delivery among 42,379 women. The relative risk of having a cesarean delivery was also estimated by fecundability among 74,024 women.
