Are You at Risk for a Punctured Uterus?
A punctured or perforated uterus can cause inflammation in the abdomen, as well as bladder injury, bleeding and infection. Although there are a number of ways that this can happen, we will review a few of the more common causes of a punctured uterus to see if you can avoid the risks. A punctured uterus is something that must be understood and carefully handled.

Abortion
Women who have had past abortions are at a considerable risk for a punctured uterus. During and abortion, the cervix may have become damaged and this can cause scar tissue to form and weaken the lining of the uterus wall and cervical tissue. This weakened tissue can be very susceptible to puncture and perforation. Abortions in the second term have a significantly higher risk of a punctured uterus as the walls of the uterus have become increasing thinner over the course of the pregnancy.

Rotation During Childbirth
Occasionally, during delivery the fetus will need to be rotated. If this need arises, the doctor performs a rotation using metal forceps. While this procedure is sometimes necessary, there is a chance that the forceps will puncture the delicate uterine lining. Women who are breastfeeding can also be at risk of a punctured uterus due to the thinner walls of their uterus.
Menopause
A menopausal woman has gone through many bodily changes including a narrowed cervix and thinner uterine walls. This is something that is common in all women after menopause and must be considered when all abdominal procedures are being considered.

IUD
IUDs on occasion can become absorbed by part of the uterine wall and may pierce the muscles of the uterus. Again, women who are breastfeeding must be extremely careful during insertion of the IUD as the wrong placement could easily pierce the uterine wall.
