placenta accreta

Placenta accreta is a condition where the placenta, which provides nutrients to the developing baby during pregnancy, attaches too deeply into the wall of the uterus instead of stopping at the usual boundary. This abnormal attachment can cause complications during delivery, such as heavy bleeding, because the placenta does not separate easily after birth. It often occurs in women with previous pregnancies or uterine surgeries. Proper diagnosis and planning are important to manage the condition safely and to prevent serious health risks for both mother and baby.
