🚨 New Research Reveals Hidden Long-Term Risks After C-Sections — And Millions of Women Were Never Told
For over 50 years, surgeons worldwide have relied on the same method to close the uterus during cesarean deliveries.
It was considered safe, simple, and standard.
But groundbreaking research by Dr. Emmanuel Bujold and Dr. Roberto Romero now warns that this traditional technique may be causing serious long-term health issues for millions of women.
The current method stitches the uterine lining and muscle layers together—tissues that are not meant to be joined. This prevents the uterus from healing naturally, creating a weak, irregular scar that can cause complications later in life.
🔬 What the data shows:
Abnormal placenta attachment: up to 6%
Uterine rupture in later pregnancies: up to 3%
Premature births: up to 28%
Chronic pelvic pain: up to 35%
Heavy or irregular bleeding: up to 33%
Endometriosis or adenomyosis: up to 43%
Scar defects (“niches”) linked to infertility and miscarriage
With C-section rates climbing globally—27% in Canada, 32% in the U.S., nearly 50% in countries like Brazil—these risks now affect millions of mothers.
🩺 The proposed solution:
Bujold and Romero recommend a more precise closure technique:
Suturing muscle to muscle
Leaving the uterine lining untouched so it can regenerate naturally
Rebuilding the uterus layer by layer, restoring its original architecture
This method takes just 5–8 extra minutes, causes minimal additional blood loss, and may significantly reduce complications in future pregnancies.
🌍 Why it matters:
As C-sections rise, improving how the uterus is repaired isn’t just a surgical upgrade—it’s a global women’s health priority.
This shift in technique could safeguard fertility, reduce life-threatening complications, and transform outcomes for millions of mothers.
👉 Mothers deserve a uterus that heals properly. It’s time the world updates a 50-year-old surgical tradition.
