Placenta Accreta Symptoms
Placenta accreta is a severe pregnancy condition
that happens when the placenta grows too deeply
inside the uterine wall. Generally, the placenta
separates from the uterine wall after childbirth.
With placenta accreta, portion or all of the
placenta remains attached. This could cause
severe blood loss after delivery. It is also
possible that the placenta invades the muscles of
the uterus (placenta increta) or develops across
the uterine wall (placenta percreta). Placenta
accreta is referred to as a high-risk pregnancy
complication. If the condition is diagnosed
during pregnancy, you will likely require an
early C-section delivery followed by the surgical
removal of your uterus (hysterectomy).

Cause of Raynauds Disease? Placenta accreta
usually causes no signs or symptoms during
pregnancy although vaginal bleeding during the
third trimester may happen. Occasionally,
placenta accreta is discovered during a routine
ultrasound. Placenta Accreta Causes Placenta
accreta is thought to be associated with
abnormalities in the lining of the uterus,
typically because of scarring after a C-section
or other uterine surgery. Sometimes, however,
placenta accreta happens without a history of
uterine surgery.

Placenta Accreta Risk factors Many factors could
increase the risk of placenta accreta,
including    Previous uterine surgery - The
risk of placenta accrete rises with the number of
C-sections or other uterine surgeries you have
undergone.    Placenta position - If the
placenta partially or completely covers your
cervix (placenta previa) or sits in the lower
portion of your uterus, you are at increased risk
of placenta accreta.    Maternal age - Placenta
accreta is more common in women older than 35
years.    Previous childbirth - The risk of
placenta accreta rises as your number of
pregnancies increases.

Placenta Accreta Complications Placenta accreta
could cause    Heavy vaginal bleeding
- Placenta accreta poses a major risk of serious
vaginal bleeding (hemorrhage) after delivery. The
bleeding could cause a life-threatening condition
that prevents your blood from clotting normally
(disseminated intravascular coagulopathy), as
well as lung failure (adult respiratory distress
syndrome) and kidney failure. A blood transfusion
will probably be required.    Premature birth
- Placenta accreta may cause labor to start
early. If placenta accreta causes bleeding during
your pregnancy, you may need to deliver your baby
early. Continue to Read More Click Here
