What to do if the placenta praevia is bleeding

Bleeding from anterior placenta can be treated with medications such as glucocorticoids, indomethacin and nifedipine, as well as cesarean section or vaginal delivery. The specific treatment needs to be decided according to the amount of bleeding, pregnancy weeks, the number of deliveries, fetal position and other factors. Patients need to actively cooperate with doctors to avoid delaying the condition. The anterior placenta attaches to the lower part of the uterus and the lower margin position, which easily leads to repeated vaginal bleeding in the late pregnancy or after labor. Patients must go to the hospital for treatment in time, and delayed treatment may lead to threatening the life of pregnant women. The general treatment methods are: 1. General treatment: for pregnant women in good condition with little vaginal bleeding. Adopt absolute bed rest, daily intermittent oxygen intake and iron supplementation therapy or blood transfusion therapy. 2. Medication: Contraction-suppressing drugs such as nifedipine, indomethacin, ritodrine and magnesium sulfate can be used to prevent preterm labor. If termination of pregnancy within 7 days is considered, glucocorticoid injection can be given to promote fetal lung maturation, such as dexamethasone. 3. Surgical treatment: generally there are emergency cesarean section, elective cesarean section, vaginal delivery can be based on the patient’s disease emergency and their own situation, choose the appropriate means of treatment. Placenta praevia hemorrhage is generally more critical, easily lead to the pregnant woman and the fetus is in danger, so we should send to the hospital in a timely manner, and actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment.
