Patient's question:
20 weeks and 2 days pregnant,: breech,: right lower, biparietal diameter: 4.7 cm, head circumference: 17.0 cm, abdominal circumference: 15.6 cm, femur length: 3.2 cm, humerus length: 3.1 cm, spine is continuous and complete, long bones of limbs are visible. The lower edge of the placenta covers the internal cervical os and extends to the anterior wall of the uterus. Maximum depth of amniotic fluid: 5.3 cm.In what kind of help: Please help me consult experienced doctors or sisters. Can this placenta previa undergo amniocentesis? Because I am already 36 years old. Also, what should I pay attention to in the later stages of pregnancy? Urgently seeking good news!!!!!!!!!
Doctor's answer:
From the ultrasound results, placenta previa is suspected. If the lower edge of the placenta still covers the internal cervical os after 28 weeks of pregnancy, it can be diagnosed as placenta previa, which is considered a high-risk pregnancy. It is prone to recurrent antenatal bleeding, endangering the lives of both the mother and child.Why do you need an amniocentesis? Amniocentesis and fetal chromosome examination are only necessary if the Down syndrome screening indicates a high risk. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to seek systematic and standardized examination in a reputable tertiary hospital as soon as possible based on their specific condition. This is the only way to provide targeted treatment and achieve a quick recovery.
