Patient's question:
When I gave birth naturally, I found that the placenta was retained. It took 23 minutes to come out half of it, and the other half came out through other means later. Later, I still felt a bit scared?Doctor's answer:
Placental retention usually occurs about half an hour after the fetus is delivered, and the placenta has not detached. The common causes of placental retention are usually uterine atony, which means the uterus fails to contract effectively after the fetus is delivered. If placental retention occurs, it is essential to prevent bleeding and infection. It is recommended to use some antibiotics to enhance immunity. Have a blood test to check for anemia. If anemia is present, timely nutrition should be provided to correct it promptly.
