Patient's question:
I'm almost at my due date. My friend said to save the umbilical cord blood at that time, saying it would be good for the child in the future. I haven't heard that this is possible before. What's the use of saving umbilical cord blood?Doctor's answer:
Production after childbirth, umbilical cord blood can be preserved. Umbilical cord blood contains hematopoietic stem cells, which can rebuild the blood and immune system, and can treat leukemia or other hereditary diseases related to blood. If your child needs it in the future, it can be used directly. You should consult the hospital in advance before childbirth, as some hospitals do not have this technology. It is helpful for blood diseases like leukemia and provides a certain guarantee for your child's future health.
