Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Is it serious if the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck once at six months of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the umbilical cord is loose around the neck, which does not affect umbilical cord blood circulation and will not endanger the fetus. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility of anything going wrong. If the umbilical cord is wrapped too tightly around the neck, it can compress the umbilical vessels, leading to impaired blood circulation or compression of the fetal jugular vein, causing ischemia and hypoxia in the fetal brain tissue, resulting in intrauterine distress, stillbirth, stillbirth, or neonatal asphyxia. This phenomenon often occurs during labor. If it is accompanied by an abnormally short umbilical cord or relatively short umbilical cord, it often affects the descent of the presenting part during labor, leading to prolonged labor and exacerbating fetal hypoxia, endangering the fetus.
