Explanation

Placenta previa

  • It occurs when the fertilized ovum drops down and implants in the lower uterine segment.
  • It is the condition when the placenta grows in the lowest part of the uterus and covers the opening to the cervix.
  • It can cause severe bleeding during pregnancy and delivery.
  • It can be diagnosed by Ultrasound scan
  • It can be treated by a c-section (Cesarean delivery) procedure.
  • It is of two types
  1. Complete previa- placenta covers the entire opening of the cervix
  2. Marginal previa- placenta is close to the opening of the cervix but doesn't cover it.
