Patient's question:
I have been experiencing dizziness recently, and I can't seem to eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was a blood-related issue. What does "hemolysis during pregnancy" mean?Doctor's answer:
Hemolysis during pregnancy refers to the situation where the pregnant woman has blood type O, but her partner does not have O blood type, which may lead to the possibility of recurrent hemolysis in the fetus or newborn. This is a common ABO blood type incompatibility, and the likelihood of recurrence is generally small, with some symptoms being relatively mild. Severe hemolysis can also lead to fetal abnormalities. During the second trimester of pregnancy, monitoring data on antibody changes can help understand whether hemolysis may recur.
