I am a 44 year old woman planning on IVF --- my cervix was closed so they went in on friday to open it. During the surgey, they accidently perforated my uterus -- how will this affect me? Also after the surgery when the accident happened they let me go on to have an imagining that put dye in the utuerus - since the uterus was perforated only hours earlier --- how will this affect the perforated area?
As the uterus has been unfortunately perforated, you must avoid conception for at least 2 months till that area heals. Also, whenever you conceive, keep your gynecologist informed about the same, as there could be a small chance of uterine rupture. Ideally, dye check should not have been done just after the perforation, but there shouldn't be a complication due to that.
