Cervical tears are common in difficult labors that require forceps or when the mother pushes too early when the cervix is not fully dilated, sometimes due to large abortions. In cases where the cervical tear is large and causes heavy bleeding, doctors will immediately suture it to stop the bleeding after the fetus and placenta are delivered. In cases where the tear is small, the bleeding may stop on its own after the fetus is delivered.

Cervical incompetence is a condition in which the cervix thins and opens before the fetus is large enough for the baby to be born. This is one of the causes of sudden miscarriage in pregnant women. Cervical cerclage is a procedure to sew a circle around the cervix to narrow the opening in the uterus, protecting the fetus in the womb, preventing miscarriage and premature birth.
