Patient's question:
I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. Could you please tell me what causes low placenta?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the causes of low-lying placenta include one: endometritis, repeated curettage, multiple births, and uterine cavity operations that lead to endometrial damage and reduced blood supply. To absorb sufficient nutrients, the placenta compensatorily expands its area, extending to the lower segment of the uterus, resulting in low-lying placenta or placenta previa. Two: delayed development of the gestational sac, where when it reaches the uterine cavity, the trophoblast has not yet developed to the stage capable of implantation. It continues to descend to the lower segment of the uterus, leading to a low placental position.
