Istmocele

More precisely, it is a sack-like formation, similar to a "hernia or a diverticulum, which develops in the wall of the uterus, starting from the surgical wound resulting from the incision made to facilitate the birth of a child."

Isthmocele can cause various ailments, such as pelvic pain and atypical post-menstrual blood loss, up to infertility or difficulty in undertaking another pregnancy.

In symptomatic cases, one can intervene with drug therapy or surgery.

In detail, it is a saccular diverticulum or a "hernia that develops in the area between the canal of the cervix and the" isthmus, also called the internal uterine orifice (ie in the site of the incision made to extract the child, then sutured to the end of childbirth).
