Patient's question:
Female, 28 years old, I had a vaginal delivery. Due to the placenta not detaching, the doctor manually removed it with his hands. I want to know what the risks are and what I should pay attention to in the future.Doctor's answer:
Hello, in this case, there is no need to be nervous. It won't cause any harm like this. The timely delivery of the placenta is very important for the pregnant woman. Afterward, pay attention to proper anti-inflammatory measures, and there won't be any issues. Generally, it's recommended to have a follow-up check-up about 6 weeks after completing the postpartum period (the "month of sitting the moon"). Please don't worry. When obstetricians diagnose and treat, they always wear disposable sterile gloves during procedures. The situation you mentioned poses no significant harm to your health. It is recommended that you pay attention to recovery during the postpartum period and eat nutritious foods to nourish your body.
