What Should I Do If My Placenta Is Low?
When a low placenta is detected, the first step is to observe the health status of the pregnant woman and the fetus, and then proceed with treatment based on the test results. Many factors can lead to a low placenta, which can have a certain impact on the fetus. If conservative treatment is ineffective, doctors may recommend an abortion for the safety of the pregnant woman to prevent more serious consequences. How to address a low placenta? 1. If the pregnancy is less than 34 weeks and both the pregnant woman and the fetus are normal, conservative treatment can be adopted. The pregnant woman can rest on her left side, and after the bleeding stops, she can get out of bed for light activities. Close observation of vaginal bleeding and fetal condition is essential. 2. If the pregnant woman experiences recurrent bleeding, excessive bleeding, or even hemorrhagic shock, or if the fetus shows signs of hypoxia between 34 and 36 weeks of pregnancy, or if the pregnancy reaches 36 weeks, termination of pregnancy is recommended promptly.
1. Due to delayed trophoblastic development, the fertilized egg has not yet developed to the stage of implantation and continues to descend and implant in the lower segment of the uterus, growing and developing there to form a low placenta. 2. In multiple pregnancies, the large placental area extends to the lower segment of the uterus and even reaches the cervical os. 3. Operations that can cause endometrial damage, such as multiple pregnancies, multiple abortions, multiple curettage procedures, and cesarean delivery surgeries.
