Placental abruption (Abruptio Placentae) is a serious complication of pregnancy that can occur after 24 weeks, accompanied by bloody discharge from the uterus. In this case, the placenta, which is the organ that provides nutrition and oxygen to the growing fetus, is separated from the wall of the uterus. This leads to disruption of nutrition and oxygen to the fetus, which can lead to serious complications and even death of the fetus.
Placental abruption can be caused by various factors such as trauma, hypertension, smoking, drug use, infections and other diseases. Symptoms of placental abruption may include bleeding from the uterus, pain in the lower abdomen, decreased fetal activity, and decreased levels of hemoglobin and platelets in the mother's blood.
The extent of damage from placental abruption can vary, and depending on the severity of the situation, emergency hospitalization and surgery may be required. In severe cases of placental abruption, a caesarean section or even hysterectomy may be required.
Along with placental abruption, a woman can often develop hypertension and preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication that is characterized by high blood pressure, swelling and protein in the urine. This condition can be life-threatening for both mother and fetus.
Retinal detachment (detached retina) is another serious condition that can lead to complete loss of vision in the affected eye. This condition occurs when one or more holes form in the retina, allowing fluid to escape from the vitreous humor of the eyeball and accumulate under the retina. This causes the inner nerve layer of the retina to detach from the outer pigment layer to which it is attached.
Fortunately, retinal detachment is treated surgically by creating patches of scar tissue between the retina and the choroid using extreme cold or heat, which, in combination with plumbing, helps to secure the detached portions of the retina. However, the earlier a retinal detachment is detected, the greater the chance of complete restoration of vision.
In conclusion, placental abruption and retinal detachment are serious diseases that require prompt and expert treatment. Women should seek medical help if they experience any symptoms of placental abruption, such as bleeding from the uterus, pain in the lower abdomen, and decreased fetal activity. It is also important to maintain a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy to minimize the risk of developing this complication.
Regarding retinal detachment, it is important to see an experienced ophthalmologist if there are any changes in vision such as flickering, cloudiness, or loss of vision in the affected eye. Early detection and treatment of retinal detachment can help preserve vision and avoid serious complications.
In both cases, it is important to consult a doctor in a timely manner and follow all recommendations for treatment and prevention in order to ensure a favorable outcome and maintain the health of the mother and fetus or eye health.
