Placenta Disorders
Placenta disorders refer to various complications that can occur with the placenta, the organ that develops during pregnancy to provide nutrients and oxygen to the fetus. Common disorders include placenta previa, where the placenta covers the cervix, and placental abruption, where the placenta detaches from the uterus prematurely. These conditions can lead to serious complications for both the mother and baby.
Another type of placenta disorder is placenta accreta, where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall. This can cause severe bleeding during delivery and may require surgical intervention. Early detection and monitoring by healthcare providers are essential for managing these disorders effectively.
