Cervical lacerations are common in cases of difficult labor, such as when forceps assistance is required or premature pushing occurs when the cervix is not fully dilated. They can also occur during large dilation and evacuation procedures. In cases of large cervical lacerations causing significant bleeding, doctors will perform a surgical repair to stop bleeding after the delivery of the fetus and the placenta. The remaining cases of small lacerations may stop bleeding spontaneously after delivery of the foetus.
