What are the effects of manual placental removal?

Many shopping malls now have a project that allows men to experience the pain of female childbirth. After the experience, many men say they cannot bear it. It can be seen that childbirth is such a great thing for women. If the placenta does not fall off naturally when the baby is born during the delivery process, medical staff will need to manually remove the placenta. What effects will manual placental removal have on women’s bodies?

The placenta is an important organ for material exchange between the fetus and the mother. It is an organ that combines the tissues between the mother and the fetus during human pregnancy and grows from the embryonic embryonic membrane and the maternal endometrium. The fetus develops in the uterus and relies on the placenta to obtain nutrition from the mother, while both maintain a considerable degree of independence. The placenta also synthesizes a variety of hormones, enzymes, cytokines, etc. to maintain normal pregnancy. The placenta is also a traditional Chinese medicine, called placenta, also known as human placenta, afterbirth, chorion, afterbirth, and fetal membrane.

So which women need manual placental removal?

If the placenta is adhered or the placenta cannot be delivered normally during delivery, manual placental removal surgery is required.

The placenta is the connecting channel between the baby and the mother. Inside the placenta is the blood circulation system of the mother and the fetus. The placenta is also a protective umbrella for the fetus. The food that the mother eats during pregnancy is converted into nutrients and delivered to the baby through the placenta.

The process of manual placental removal:

Step 1: The doctor slowly inserts a hand into the birth canal until it reaches the inside of the uterus and finds the specific location and condition of the placenta.

Step 2: The doctor's other hand will press down on the mother's belly to prevent the placenta from sliding, and then the doctor's hand inside the uterus will find the edge of the placenta and then peel the placenta out.

Step 3: After removing the placenta, the doctor will put his hand deep into the uterus again to check whether there is any residual tissue in the uterus. If so, repeat the second step. If not, exit.

Step 4: The doctor presses the mother's belly with both hands to help her stop bleeding and drain the blood from the uterus.

What are the dangers if the placenta is not delivered? What effects will manual placental removal have on the mother?

If the placenta is not completely delivered during childbirth, it may cause heavy bleeding during delivery.

If there is any residue in the uterus, it may cause continuous lochia after delivery, and it may also easily cause gynecological diseases such as postpartum infection, puerperal infection, uterine polyps, etc.

Postpartum hemorrhage may also cause postpartum anemia, slow body recovery, and affect lactation and breastfeeding.
