Low umbilical cord blood flow is usually caused by the weakened function of the placenta and abnormalities of the umbilical cord.
Umbilical cord blood flow refers to the blood flow within the umbilical cord of the fetus, which can reflect the blood supply and oxygenation of the fetus in the uterus, and help to assess the growth and development of the fetus in the uterus. Low umbilical blood flow is mainly related to the function of the placenta, and a weak placenta is prone to this phenomenon.
Low umbilical blood flow means that the ratio of systolic to diastolic umbilical blood flow is low. Whether the umbilical blood flow is high or low, conditions such as intrauterine hypoxia of the fetus may occur. In this case, a comprehensive assessment is needed, and the pregnant woman needs to make a comprehensive analysis under the guidance of her doctor, taking into account the development of the fetus and whether there are any combined intrauterine complications, etc., and intervene if necessary.
