Patient's question:
Medical Description: My wife had a prenatal check-up today and was diagnosed with central placenta previa. She is currently 22 weeks pregnant. Everything is normal now, no bleeding, and no other symptoms. Treatment History and Effect: No treatment has been administered. Desired Help: What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, placenta previa is caused by abnormal implantation of the fertilized egg. There are multiple factors that can lead to placenta previa, such as multiple induced abortions and endometritis, among others. Central placenta previa is a type of placenta previa and is also the most risky one, as it may lead to severe bleeding at any time or other abnormal symptoms during a cesarean section. Therefore, you should pay attention to rest, maintain regular bowel movements, avoid strenuous exercise, and refrain from straining downward. It primarily causes painless vaginal bleeding in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. It is recommended to avoid overexertion and seek immediate medical attention if vaginal bleeding occurs.
