The placenta plays an important role during pregnancy, but many pregnant women may experience placenta previa, which is very harmful to pregnant women and not conducive to the good development of the fetus. When pregnant women experience placenta previa, they will have vaginal bleeding symptoms. If the bleeding continues, it can also lead to anemia and even shock in pregnant women. However, what is placenta previa?
Prenatal placenta previa refers to the position of the placenta being relatively low and lower than that of the fetus. Under normal circumstances, the placenta should be located in the posterior part of the uterus. Premature placenta previa can cause severe bleeding symptoms and serious complications in pregnant women, so pregnant women should pay attention to it.
There are many reasons that can cause placenta previa. If pregnant women undergo multiple curettage surgeries, the uterus will become increasingly fragile, and improper care can easily lead to endometrial lesions, so the placenta cannot grow normally during pregnancy. Furthermore, if some pregnant women have multiple pregnancies, the placenta will become larger, which can also lead to placenta previa. Therefore, these pregnant women need to be more cautious and undergo regular check ups, which is necessary.
If the development of the placenta itself is abnormal, it can also cause placenta previa. When pregnant women experience this condition, they should rest in bed more and pay attention to changes in their condition. They should try not to overwork themselves and reduce unnecessary activities. When resting in bed, they should adopt a left lateral position and avoid straining to defecate. If there is repeated heavy bleeding, termination of pregnancy should be considered.
