Lower Segment Caesarean Section

Lower Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS) is a commonly performed surgical procedure used to deliver a baby when vaginal delivery is not safe or advisable for the mother or the baby. Under the experienced care of Dr. Aysha Aymen, LSCS is performed with utmost precision, safety, and compassion to ensure the best possible outcomes.

LSCS involves delivering the baby through a carefully planned incision in the lower part of the uterus. This method minimizes complications, promotes faster healing, and reduces postoperative discomfort when compared to older surgical techniques.

When Is LSCS Recommended?

While normal vaginal delivery is preferred whenever possible, certain medical situations require a cesarean section to protect the health of the mother and baby.

Common indications for LSCS include:

• Fetal distress or abnormal heart rate patterns
• Previous cesarean section with contraindication for vaginal birth
• Placenta previa or placental abruption
• Abnormal fetal position such as breech or transverse lie
• Failure of labor to progress
• Multiple pregnancies or medical complications

Planned and Emergency Caesarean Deliveries

LSCS may be performed as a planned (elective) procedure or as an emergency intervention. Planned cesarean sections are scheduled in advance after thorough evaluation and counseling, while emergency LSCS is carried out when unexpected complications arise during labor.

In both scenarios, Dr. Aysha Aymen ensures careful decision-making, clear communication with the family, and immediate medical readiness to ensure a safe delivery.

Surgical Safety and Anesthesia Care

The procedure is performed under regional or general anesthesia based on clinical needs. Strict surgical protocols, sterile techniques, and continuous monitoring are followed to minimize risks and ensure maternal safety.

Key safety measures include:

• Preoperative assessment and investigations
• Careful anesthesia planning
• Continuous monitoring of vital signs
• Immediate neonatal care after delivery

Postoperative Care and Recovery

Post-delivery care after LSCS is crucial for smooth recovery. Mothers are closely observed for pain control, wound healing, and overall well-being. Early mobilization, breastfeeding support, and proper nutrition are encouraged to promote faster recovery.

Detailed guidance is provided regarding wound care, activity restrictions, medication use, and follow-up visits.

Emotional Support and Counseling

Undergoing a cesarean section can be emotionally overwhelming for some mothers. Emotional reassurance, counseling, and clear explanations are provided before and after the procedure to ensure confidence and comfort.

With a patient-focused approach, advanced surgical expertise, and compassionate care, Dr. Aysha Aymen ensures that every Lower Segment Caesarean Section is performed safely, respectfully, and with the highest standards of medical excellence.
