How to handle the placenta after giving birth to a girl

Patient's question:

Female, 28 years old, my sister is currently giving birth in the hospital. She had a baby girl who is particularly beautiful. However, there has been no solution for handling the placenta after giving birth, so now she wants to ask for some advice. How should the placenta of a baby girl be processed?

Doctor's answer:

Girl's placenta doesn't require special solutions; it is usually disposed of with medical waste. Unless the fetus has all kinds of inflammation, there needs to be placenta testing to check what is causing it. If the fetus is healthy, the placenta is handled by hospital professionals for comprehensive disposal, which is better for you. Don't overthink it and always stay relaxed.
