Premature Separation of Placenta with Coagulation Defect: Understanding the Condition
Premature separation of placenta with coagulation defect is a rare but serious complication during pregnancy. This condition occurs when the placenta, which is responsible for supplying nutrients and oxygen to the baby, detaches from the uterine wall before the baby is born. When this happens, the baby may not receive enough oxygen and nutrients, and the mother may experience severe bleeding.
Coagulation defect refers to a problem with the blood's ability to clot properly. This can cause excessive bleeding during pregnancy, labor, and delivery, which can be life-threatening for both the mother and the baby.
