Placenta Increta
Placenta Increta is a serious pregnancy condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall. Unlike a normal placenta, which detaches easily after childbirth, an increta placenta can cause complications during delivery, leading to heavy bleeding and potential damage to surrounding organs.
This condition is part of a spectrum of placenta accreta disorders, which also includes placenta previa and placenta percreta. Women with risk factors such as previous cesarean sections or uterine surgeries are more likely to experience placenta increta. Early diagnosis and careful management are crucial for the health of both the mother and baby.
