Why does low-lying placenta cause bleeding during pregnancy?

A low-lying placenta can cause repeated bleeding, premature birth, or fetal hypoxia, all of which start in the uterus. Therefore, when facing these problems, you must pay attention to proper health care and, if necessary, be hospitalized to reduce the harm.

1. Whether a mother can give birth normally is inseparable from the position of the placenta. A low-lying placenta is a manifestation of placental displacement. If you are not careful at all times, it will cause certain harm to the health of both the mother and the baby. Take repeated bleeding due to low-lying placenta as an example. This is the most common thing that happens when the placenta is low-lying. Pay attention and be vigilant at all times to prevent accidents.

2. According to most data, women with low placenta are often forced to have cesarean sections due to repeated bleeding in late pregnancy, which leads to premature birth. In severe cases, the fetus may die in utero due to lack of oxygen. This is mainly because bleeding caused by placenta previa is often unexplained and painless, so self-examination and self-care are also very important.

3. Pregnant women with placenta previa should be admitted to the hospital for observation and treatment in advance under the guidance of a doctor, and different treatments should be given according to different situations. Do not take chances and delay the diagnosis and treatment.

4. Pregnant women should try to rest in bed during pregnancy, lie on their left side, ensure good sleep, increase nutrition, so that the fetus can grow and develop well in the uterus and improve its survival ability after birth.

5. If anemia occurs due to repeated bleeding, you should take medication to correct it under the guidance of a doctor, or you can be hospitalized for red blood cell transfusion.

6. After discovering abnormal placental position, sexual intercourse should be prohibited during the entire pregnancy, and physical labor and physical exercise should be avoided. Colds and coughs should be treated promptly, and bowel movements should be kept regular to avoid bleeding due to a sudden increase in abdominal pressure.

7. Pay attention to vulvar hygiene to prevent infection. Infection can also cause uterine contractions and induce bleeding.
