The placenta, according to experts, is a very important organ that is formed directly during pregnancy. So, he is responsible for the connection between the future woman in labor and the fetus itself. In addition, the he alth and development of the crumbs in the future depends on the state of this organ. Unfortunately, today doctors diagnose placental abruption very often. In some cases, this situation is fatal to the fetus. What is premature placental abruption, and why they occur, we will tell in this article.
General information
First of all, it should be noted that premature placental abruption occurs even before the baby is born. Taking into account the fact that in the first trimester this organ is just beginning its direct formation, in this case we will rather talk about the separation of the fetal egg. On the other hand, in the second and third trimesters, the diagnosis will already sound exactly like a detachment. In the latter case, differentmarginal and central options. So, the last one is considered the most dangerous.
Causes of placental abruption:
- preeclampsia;
- different kinds of infections;
- high blood pressure;
- mechanical injury to the abdomen;
- tobacco smoking;
- tumors.
How to identify placental abruption?
One of the first symptoms of this problem, according to experts, is very heavy bleeding. In some cases, which happens quite rarely, there may be no blood. In addition, this symptom can also be accompanied by severe uterine hypertonicity, dizziness and discomfort in the abdomen. The fetus, in turn, always reacts differently: either it starts to move strongly, or it completely stops its activity. In especially severe cases, patients may complain of a sharp increase in body temperature, shortness of breath, excessive sweating and low blood pressure.
What is dangerous placental abruption? Treatment
First of all, it should be noted that when it comes to rejection of the ovum, the predictions for a successful pregnancy are very favorable. In this case, the pregnant woman is placed in a hospital, tokological therapy is carried out, the main purpose of which is to relax the uterus itself. If such a problem occurs in the second trimester, treatment tactics depend on several factors at the same time. As a rule, it is possible to compensate for the shortcomings of exfoliated areas without much harm to the crumbs inwomb. In the third trimester, when fetal death is very high, immediate delivery by caesarean section is most often required. Natural delivery is almost impossible, since the probability of extensive blood loss is very high. In especially serious cases, doctors manage to save only the mother, but at the same time they remove the dead fetus along with the uterus.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it should be noted that when the first signs of this problem occur, as described above, you should immediately call a doctor (ambulance). This is the only way to increase the likelihood of saving the fetus and subsequently successfully giving birth. Stay he althy!
