The significance of placental pathology examination

Every mother needs to do many examinations during the ten months of pregnancy, and placental examination is also a must in this process, because if the placenta develops abnormally, it will affect the normal growth of the child. If the placenta is pathological, there may be a wandering disc adhesion, which is more difficult to deal with. So what is the significance of placental pathology examination?

Ten months of pregnancy is a process that every mother must go through, and during this process, women are often asked to undergo placental pathology examinations. However, most pregnant women do not understand the significance of this examination and will experience unprecedented anxiety, confusion, and even fear. In fact, placental pathology examination is only a medical means for doctors to further understand the fetal development and maternal health.

The significance of placental pathology examination is to timely diagnose maternal and fetal diseases, distinguish the outcome of abnormal pregnancy, assess the chance of recurrence of disease during pregnancy, and guide women to have a correct pregnancy. This type of placental pathology examination is often used after a woman's pregnancy test finds a problem. It can further determine the development status of the fetus and determine whether they have any disease. Chorioamnionitis, which is now common in clinical practice, can be confirmed through placental pathology examination.

Chorioamnionitis is a common disease during pregnancy in women. It can induce premature birth, amniotic fluid infection, vasospasm or vascular embolism and other adverse symptoms. However, there is no professional means to diagnose chorioamnionitis in clinical practice, and it must be completed with the help of placental pathology examination. During the placental pathological examination, necrotic tissue and inflammation are found in the placenta. Moreover, there is no neutrophil infiltration during the inflammatory response of the placental tissue. At this time, the doctor will judge that the pregnant woman has chorioamnionitis.

Chronic chorioallantoic inflammation can also be diagnosed through placental pathology examination, because this disease occurs after birth. During placental pathology examination, it will be found that about 10% of the placentas have T cells. These cells will reduce maternal immunity and induce chronic chorioallantoic inflammation, which will cause occlusive vascular disease in the fetus and damage the fetal nerve center. Its occurrence is mostly related to the mother's own immune function and is highly hereditary.

Arterial malperfusion is also a common disease during pregnancy. When it occurs, it will cause damage to the blood vessels on the maternal side of the placenta. Most of these damaged blood vessels are located in the center of the placenta. This situation will directly lead to an increase in blood flow in the placental blood vessels and promote placental abruption. When doctors are conducting fetal examinations, if they find that the maturity and weight of the placenta do not match the gestational age, they will think that the pregnant woman has arterial malperfusion. If not treated in time, it will cause placental abruption in the abdomen and the fetus's central nervous system will be seriously damaged.

Through the above introduction, everyone can know that the significance of placental pathology examination is very important. It is an important means for doctors to discover various diseases of the mother and fetus during pregnancy. Only by early detection and early treatment can every pregnant woman give birth to a healthy baby. If a placental pathology examination is done during pregnancy and it is found that the fetus has serious problems, the pregnancy can be ended early to minimize the harm to the mother.
