placenta-associated diseases

Placenta-associated diseases involve problems with the placenta, the organ that provides oxygen and nutrients to a developing baby. Conditions like preeclampsia cause high blood pressure and can harm mother and baby, while placental abruption involves the placenta detaching prematurely, risking bleeding and injury. Infections or abnormal development can lead to placental insufficiency, reducing nutrient flow and affecting fetal growth. These issues may result in complications such as preterm birth, low birth weight, or delivery difficulties. Proper monitoring and medical care are essential to manage these conditions and ensure the health of both mother and baby.
