Why does the placenta have dark areas of fluid?

The presence of dark areas of fluid in the placenta is also a relatively common type of condition. This phenomenon does not rule out the possibility of bleeding in the placenta, so every parent must be aware of this situation. The treatment of liquid dark areas is also divided into several stages, and the treatment methods for each stage will be different.

The possibility of placental bleeding cannot be ruled out.

Will the fetus bleed if the placenta is long?

The placenta is present after the fetus is fertilized and is connected to the umbilical cord, so there will be no bleeding.

Whether a mother can give birth normally is inseparable from the position of the placenta. A low-lying placenta is a manifestation of placental displacement. If you are not careful at all times, it will cause certain harm to the health of both the mother and the baby. Take repeated bleeding due to low-lying placenta as an example. This is the most common thing that happens when the placenta is low-lying. Pay attention and be vigilant at all times to prevent accidents.

According to most data, pregnant women with low placenta are often forced to have cesarean sections due to repeated bleeding in late pregnancy, which leads to premature birth. In severe cases, the fetus may die in utero due to lack of oxygen. This is mainly because bleeding caused by placenta previa is often unexplained and painless, so self-examination and self-care are also very important. The self-care methods for low-lying placenta are as follows: 1. Pregnant women with placenta previa should be admitted to the hospital for observation and treatment in advance under the guidance of a doctor, and different treatments should be given according to different situations. Do not take chances and delay the diagnosis and treatment. 2. Pregnant women should try to rest in bed during pregnancy, lie on their left side, ensure good sleep, increase nutrition, so that the fetus can grow and develop well in the uterus and improve its survival ability after birth. 3. If anemia occurs due to repeated bleeding, you should take medication to correct it under the guidance of a doctor, or you can be hospitalized for red blood cell transfusion. 4. After discovering abnormal placental position, sexual intercourse should be prohibited during the entire pregnancy, and physical labor and physical exercise should be avoided. Colds and coughs should be treated promptly, and bowel movements should be kept regular to avoid bleeding due to a sudden increase in abdominal pressure. 5. Pay attention to vulvar hygiene to prevent infection. Infection can also cause uterine contractions and induce bleeding.

What to do if you have placenta previa

1. Expectant management

If the pregnancy is less than 36 weeks, the fetal weight is less than 2300g, the amount of vaginal bleeding is not much, the pregnant woman is in good general condition, and the fetus is alive, expectant management can be adopted.

a. Absolute bed rest, sedatives may be given, such as luminal 0.03, or chlordiazepoxide 10 mg, or diazepam 5 mg, orally 3 times a day.

b. To inhibit uterine contractions, give 2.4-4.8 mg of salbutamol once every 4-6 hours, and give a maintenance dose after uterine contractions stop.

c. To correct anemia, take 0.3 ml of ferrous sulfate orally 3 times a day and transfuse blood if necessary.

d. Antibiotics (penicillin, cephalosporin) to prevent infection.

e. Dexamethasone 10 mg, intramuscularly or intravenously, once a day for three consecutive days to promote fetal lung maturity.

f. Closely observe the patient's condition and conduct relevant auxiliary examinations, such as B-ultrasound examination, fetal maturity examination, etc. If there is heavy bleeding or repeated bleeding, terminate the pregnancy as appropriate.

2. Termination of pregnancy

Active measures need to be taken to terminate the pregnancy if the patient suffers from massive hemorrhagic shock upon admission to the hospital, massive hemorrhagic shock during expectant management of placenta previa, repeated bleeding near the due date, or heavy bleeding after delivery. There are two ways to terminate a pregnancy:

a. Cesarean section (the main method for treating placenta previa), shock should be actively corrected before the operation, and blood volume should be supplemented by infusion and blood transfusion. During the operation, attention should be paid to the selection of the uterine incision position to avoid the placenta as much as possible;

b. Vaginal delivery: Vaginal delivery is to use the fetal presenting part to compress the placenta to achieve the purpose of hemostasis. This method is only applicable to marginal placenta previa and the fetus is in the head position. Bleeding occurs after delivery, but the amount of blood is not much, the mother is in general good condition, the labor progresses smoothly, and it is estimated that the delivery can be completed in a short time. After deciding to give birth vaginally, the membranes are ruptured surgically. After the membranes are ruptured, the fetal head descends, compressing the placenta to stop bleeding, and can promote uterine contraction and accelerate delivery. This method is more effective for multiparous women.
