Is placental bleeding serious?

Placental hemorrhage is a relatively serious symptom, which is generally inseparable from placenta previa. Whether it is placenta previa or placental hemorrhage, both are relatively serious. When such problems occur, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to ensure the health of the pregnant woman and fetus. Below, we will introduce to you in detail the causes, hazards and treatment methods of placental bleeding!

1. How to deal with placenta previa bleeding

1. If the placenta previa is not serious, but is partial or marginal, and the bleeding is stopped in time, a safe birth can still be achieved. Pregnant women with this symptom must actively cooperate with the doctor. If the amount of bleeding is too much, they should consider a cesarean section as soon as possible. 2. If a pregnant woman experiences unprovoked and painless vaginal bleeding, she needs to pay attention and go to the hospital to check whether she has placenta previa.

3. Bleeding from complete placenta previa occurs early, around 28 weeks of pregnancy, with a large amount of bleeding and will occur repeatedly. In partial placenta previa and marginal placenta, vaginal bleeding occurs later, which may cause malposition of the fetus or high floating of the fetal head, thus increasing the chance of dystocia.

2. Causes of placenta previa

This may be caused by the slow development of the fertilized egg. When the slow-developing fertilized egg implants in the uterus, in order to obtain sufficient nutrition, the area of ​​the placenta expands and may extend to the lower part of the uterus, thus causing the symptoms of placenta previa. In daily life, women will have B-ultrasound examinations before delivery, and placenta previa can basically be diagnosed.

3. The harm of placenta previa

1. If it is late pregnancy and symptoms of placenta previa appear, accompanied by vaginal bleeding, it is easy to cause premature birth of the fetus. Premature babies with poor survival ability have a higher mortality rate.

2. Placenta previa may cause shock in pregnant women, resulting in fetal distress in the uterus. If the fetal hypoxia is very severe, it may cause fetal death in the womb.

3. Placenta previa is likely to be complicated by placenta adhesion and placenta accreta, which will lead to incomplete placental separation during delivery and cause heavy bleeding in the mother.

4. The detachment surface of the placenta previa is relatively close to the external cervical opening, which can easily lead to bacterial invasion and infection, which can also threaten the health of the fetus and the mother.
