A blood clotting disorder. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are necessary to save the mother and fetus's life.
1. What is a veggie?
Placental abruption is the premature shedding of the placenta when the fetus is not yet delivered and is a serious complication of pregnancy.
In the pathology of placental abruption, the placenta attaches itself to the correct position but is removed prematurely before the fetus is expelled due to the formation of a posterior hematoma. This hematoma grows larger and causes the placenta to detach from the uterine wall, cutting off the nourishment between the mother and the fetus.
Abortion is classified into grades I, II, III from mild to severe, in which level III is the most severe condition.
2. The cause of vegetative growth
The main cause of placental abruption is unknown.
However, many studies show that traumas occurring during pregnancy can cause placental abruption, such as:
Direct trauma to the abdomen (due to traffic accidents, falling from a car, etc.) due to daily-life accidents, being hit or falling while working) Due to procedures performed on the fetus in the uterus (amniocentesis, umbilical cord blood collection, ectopic pregnancy,...) causing bleeding to form a mass Post-vegetable hematoma causes placental abruption. Preeclampsia. Sprouts are not heritable.
3. Risk factors for placental abruption
Age: placental abruption is more common in pregnant women over 35 years old or under 20 years old. History of placental abruption: if you have had placental abruption before, there is a risk of recurrence for the next pregnancy. Toxic gestational hypertension (hypertension with proteinuria) Substance abuse: placental abruption is likely to get worse if you smoke or use cocaine during pregnancy. Blood clotting disorders: Any condition that disrupts the ability of the blood to clot increases the risk of placental abruption. Multiple pregnancy: if you have multiples, the risk is higher than with a singleton. Pregnant women who do not have regular antenatal check-ups to detect the risk of pregnancy toxicity early, those with poor diets, hard labor, women living in remote areas, with difficult living conditions are at risk. The risk of placental abruption is higher than in urban areas.
4. Is there any danger of vegetative growth?
Once the placenta is separated from the uterine wall, there is no way to get the placenta back. If not treated promptly, the fetus will be deprived of oxygen and nutrients, and the pregnant woman will also experience severe blood loss. Placental abruption can lead to miscarriage, bleeding, premature birth and immediate emergency need. In severe cases, despite being managed, the life of mother and fetus is still threatened because of complications such as hemorrhagic shock, anuria, ...
Abortion progresses rapidly, if not handled promptly. It will lead to the following complications:
Hemorrhagic shock : shock occurs very quickly, disproportionate between the amount of blood loss seen in the vagina and the degree of shock. Coagulation disorders: abruption causes a significant loss of blood, loss of a large amount of clotting factors, so it affects the clotting process, causing blood to bleed after the placenta is removed. This complication is more severe if the progression of placental abruption lasts longer, so it is necessary to detect it early for immediate treatment. Anuria: the patient urinates very little, even no urine at all. Urine output should be monitored continuously during the first hours and subsequent days to detect this complication. Anuria is mainly due to shock causing hypotension, heavy bleeding, but also irreversible necrosis of the renal cortex, severe cases can lead to death. In addition, placental abruption can leave other very dangerous sequelae such as: acute liver and kidney failure, adrenal insufficiency, hypertension, ...
5. Prevention of abortifacients
In order to avoid the occurrence of placental abruption, which is dangerous for both mother and fetus, pregnant women should pay attention:

You should register for regular antenatal check-ups at a reputable medical facility right after you become pregnant for advice and management during pregnancy. Folic acid supplementation before pregnancy. Treat conditions such as diabetes and hypertension early to reduce the risk of placental abruption. Placental abruption progresses rapidly and has many complications. Therefore, when detecting high-risk factors such as: vaginal bleeding, lower abdominal pain, continuous uterine contractions, ... pregnant women should promptly go to a hospital with an obstetrician-specialist for diagnosis and treatment. timely treatment.
