Is central placenta previa serious?

Women should take good care of their bodies during the pregnancy preparation period, because women's physical health is closely related to the physical changes after pregnancy. The placenta is a material organ that connects a woman to her baby in the belly. It is mainly attached to the periphery of the uterus. However, the position and shape of each woman's placenta are different. So is it serious if a woman has a central placenta previa?

Concept and causes of central placenta previa

1. An imperfect endometrium, puerperal infection, multiple births, IUD insertion, multiple curettages, cesarean sections and other surgeries can cause endometritis, endometrial defects and insufficient blood supply. In order to absorb enough nutrients, the placenta compensatorily expands its area and extends to the lower segment of the uterus.

2. The fertilized egg develops slowly. When it reaches the uterine cavity, the trophoblast has not yet developed to the stage where it can implant, so it continues to be transplanted into the lower segment of the uterus.

3. The placenta area is too large. For example, most gestational discs often extend to the lower part of the uterus.

Central placenta previa care

Our common routine care:

1. Pregnant mothers need to closely observe the amount of bleeding and the duration of bleeding during pregnancy, especially pay attention to strengthening observation at night. If you find any abnormalities, please go to a regular hospital for examination. This is very necessary. If you do not pay attention to it, it may lead to miscarriage.

2. Pregnant women need to maintain a left-sided lying position to rest, which can effectively improve the occurrence of central placenta previa. However, if you maintain this position for a long time, you will feel tired. Therefore, you can adjust the position appropriately at ordinary times, but the left-sided lying position is the main one.

3. If the situation requires rapid establishment of intravenous access, specific care can be provided according to the doctor's practices, such as hemostasis, blood transfusion, infusion and other measures.

4. Pregnant women also need to avoid the adverse consequences of some examinations, such as anal examinations and enema, in order to effectively prevent bleeding.

Symptomatic care:

1. What pregnant women need most is to prevent infection. Usually, the patient can be observed based on body temperature, whether abdominal pain occurs, whether vaginal discharge increases or has an odor or bleeding, etc.

2. Keep the vulva clean, strictly implement aseptic operations, and prevent nosocomial infection.

Treatment and care:

1. If the patient has marginal placenta previa, artificial rupture of membranes is feasible. Contraction should first expose the placenta and apply pressure to stop bleeding.

2. In case of emergency, the patient must undergo emergency surgery to terminate the pregnancy, prepare for emergency surgery, and prepare for neonatal rescue. After delivery, placenta extract should be injected immediately to prevent postpartum hemorrhage.

Central placenta previa is a problem that pregnant women need to pay attention to during delivery. However, if these situations occur in patients, please do not worry. Please go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and pay close attention to the fetal position. If any abnormalities occur, please immediately terminate the pregnancy through surgery. As family members of a pregnant woman, you must always pay attention to the patient's diet and daily life, and seek medical attention immediately if you find any abnormalities.
