What causes high umbilical cord blood flow?

With the continuous improvement of science and technology, people's health awareness is also constantly improving, especially for pregnant women. People are paying more and more attention to various indicators. Umbilical cord blood flow is a very important prenatal examination indicator for pregnant women. Umbilical cord blood flow can be used to detect whether the growth and development of the fetus is normal. It can also detect the health of pregnant women. However, sometimes the umbilical cord blood flow of pregnant women will be high. Let us understand together what causes high umbilical cord blood flow.

What causes high umbilical cord blood flow?

During the ventricular phase of pregnancy, the blood is mainly decelerated by the peripheral nerve impedance of the circulatory system. The greater the peripheral nerve impedance of the circulatory system, the greater the blood deceleration rate, the greater the blood velocity drop during the ventricular phase, and the greater the amplitude of blood velocity changes in the entire cardiac cycle. Therefore, the S/D ratio will be significantly enhanced. The S/D ratio best reflects the characteristic impedance of the peripheral nerves of the distal aorta circulatory system. When the characteristic impedance of the peripheral nerves of the circulatory system increases, the S/D ratio mainly shows an increase.

During pregnancy, if the umbilical cord blood flow value remains high, it may be intrauterine hypoxia. At this time, you must not be careless and it is recommended to use oxygen mask in time. Of course, if the routine physical examination shows abnormalities, there may be danger signs for the fetus. At this time, if there is intrauterine hypoxia, the fetus will undoubtedly be harmed in the body and appropriate adjustments must be made.

How to treat high umbilical cord blood flow?

1. First of all, the most important thing is to do regular self-monitoring during pregnancy and monitor the umbilical cord blood flow by measuring the baby's fetal movement.

2. Pregnant women should also do their own medical care, pay attention to rest, avoid fatigue, and have a balanced diet.

3. When resting, you should try to lie on your left side. In daily life, you should also pay attention to the changes in the baby's fetal movements and heartbeat. If there is a lack of oxygen, oxygen should be given in time.

Umbilical cord blood flow value is an important indicator for detecting the health of pregnant women, and we must fully understand it. After all, if the umbilical cord blood flow continues to increase, it will not only directly affect the health of the pregnant woman, but also affect the growth and development of the baby. Therefore, if the umbilical cord blood flow is detected to be high, you must seek medical attention in time and receive appropriate treatment to protect your own and your fetus' health.
