What is Cervical Length Measurement?
Cervical length measurement is a specialized ultrasound used to assess the length of the cervix (the lower part of the uterus) during pregnancy. It helps evaluate the risk of preterm birth or cervical insufficiency, especially in high-risk pregnancies.
This scan is typically performed transvaginally for the most accurate results.
Why is it Important?
A shortened cervix can indicate a higher chance of premature delivery. Measuring cervical length allows doctors to:
- Identify early signs of preterm labor risk
- Plan interventions such as cerclage (stitching the cervix), progesterone therapy, or increased monitoring
- Reassure low-risk mothers when measurements are normal
Who Needs a Cervical Length Scan?
- Women with a history of preterm birth
- Those carrying twins or multiples
- Women with uterine abnormalities or cervical procedures in the past
- In cases of bleeding, contractions, or symptoms of preterm labor
When is the Scan Done?
- Usually between 16 to 24 weeks of pregnancy
- May be repeated at intervals in high-risk cases
How is the Scan Performed?
- Done using a transvaginal ultrasound probe
- Painless, safe, and takes about 10–15 minutes
- Provides precise cervical measurements in millimeters
What is a Normal Cervical Length?
- Above 25 mm is generally considered normal in mid-pregnancy
- Below 25 mm may require closer monitoring and treatment
