Are a uterine rupture and a uterine window 2 different things?

Answer by  jelm (35)

The uterine window describes the thinning of the uterus that occurs with each pregnancy. The uterine rupture is actually the tearing of the wall and it is increased with each pregnancy. The thinning of the wall or uterine window can acually increase the chances of uterine rupture. They are both completely different yet similar.

Yes both the terms mean different things. When a woman undergoes repeated pregnancies her uterus becomes thinner due to lot of stretching. The thinned part of the uterus is referred to as uterine window. If such a woman becomes pregnant chances are high her uterus will tear open due to its thin and weakened walls and this is referred to as uterine rupture.
