What should be paid attention to when the placenta is low-lying

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Low-lying placenta is a type of placenta previa, and placenta previa is divided into three types: complete placenta previa, partial placenta previa, and low-lying placenta.
Complete placenta previa means that the placental tissue completely covers the internal cervical os; partial placenta previa, as its name suggests, only partially covers the cervical os with placental tissue.
Compared to the other two types, low-lying placenta is relatively less severe among the three types of placenta previa. However, expectant mothers should not take it lightly.
