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. What are the reasons that can cause a thin placenta?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the main issue is related to the post-implantation mitotic division of the late blastocyst. This is primarily associated with the quality of sperm and eggs, as well as inherent chromosomal factors. There is no way to prevent this, but it is recommended that you undergo pre-pregnancy genetic screening to check for chromosomal abnormalities and undergo regular prenatal examinations. If, during the later stages of pregnancy, the placenta still covers the internal cervical os, the doctor will determine the category of placenta previa based on the extent of coverage. Categories three and four are more likely to cause severe bleeding and are considered high-risk pregnancies. Therefore, it is advisable to choose a large hospital for prenatal care.
