After giving birth, the uterus and placenta are adhered together. I don't know if they can fall off on their own.

Patient's question:

Hello, may I ask if it's too severe for the doctor to remove the placenta after childbirth due to adhesion between the placenta and the uterus? Can it fall off on its own?

Doctor's answer:

For this situation, the main concern is that clearing it all out may actually increase the risk of bleeding or uterine rupture, while leaving the tissue behind may still lead to spontaneous detachment.
Guidance: Currently, what needs to be done is regular follow-up, paying attention to whether other symptoms appear, and monitoring whether the discharge contains necrotic tissue. The rest can be managed as normal life.
