What causes placental aging?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Placental aging refers to the decline and reduction in the function of the placenta. As a result, it can lead to fetal hypoxia, malnutrition, developmental delay, and fetal distress, and even stillbirth, stillbirth, and neonatal asphyxia. The long-term consequences include fetal brain cell death, developmental abnormalities, and ultimately the birth of a child with intellectual disabilities.
Advice: Therefore, the impact on the fetus is quite significant! Since you are already in the later stages of pregnancy, if necessary, a cesarean section can be considered. The specific approach should be guided by the advice of the obstetric hospital. Wishing you good health!
