Partial placenta

The placenta is usually delivered about 5-15 minutes after the fetus is delivered from the birth canal, and no later than 30 minutes after delivery. At this time, if the placenta is not completely discharged and a part of it remains in the uterus, it is called placental remnant. In most cases, what remains in the uterus are very fine placental fragments that are difficult to find. This is called placental remnant. When the placenta remains, even if 10 days have passed after delivery, abnormal symptoms such as lochia or bleeding persist. At this time, you can use a uterine contraction agent to promote the discharge of the remaining placenta, and you can also use the instrument to perform the surgery to remove the residue.
