How to solve the problem of brown discharge from low-lying placenta?

Pregnant mothers should be cautious when they find that the placenta is low during examination, because a low placenta poses a great threat to the fetus and usually leads to bleeding during pregnancy. Therefore, they should pay attention to prevention, avoid squatting, and closely observe the bleeding situation.

1. First of all, it is recommended that all pregnant mothers do not worry too much. Being too worried is actually bad for the baby and themselves. For some pregnant women with low-lying placenta, as the gestational age increases, the lower segment of the uterus will lengthen and the position of the placenta will rise, and the placenta will no longer be in a low-lying position. If there is no obvious discomfort before 28 weeks of pregnancy and the fetus is developing well, it is recommended to continue observation without treatment. If the placenta is still low-lying during B-ultrasound examination at 28 weeks of pregnancy, treatment is required.

2. Because a low-lying placenta is prone to prenatal bleeding, if the amount of bleeding is large, it may be complicated by premature birth, stillbirth and intrauterine fetal death. You just need to pay attention to your daily health care to reduce the chance of complications. Pay attention to rest, avoid overwork, and do not use excessive force when changing body positions, including when defecating. Avoid constipation and sexual intercourse. Go to the hospital immediately if you notice bleeding.

3. Avoid squatting

When a pregnant mother has a low-lying placenta, she should take appropriate self-care measures, but avoid all strenuous exercise, such as running, jumping, etc., and some movements are absolutely inappropriate, such as squatting.

Pregnant mothers already have a bulging abdomen, which puts a lot of pressure on their lower limbs, so it is not easy for them to squat. If a pregnant mother with a low-lying placenta squats, the cervix will expand and the placenta located lower will be stretched, causing detachment and bleeding. Therefore, pregnant mothers with low-lying placenta should never squat.

4. Closely monitor the condition

If heavy bleeding, repeated bleeding, or labor is imminent, termination of pregnancy should be considered depending on the circumstances. It is recommended that close observation be carried out and the instructions of the attending physician be followed.
