Manual placenta removal is the evacuation of the placenta from the uterus by hand. [6] It is usually carried out under anesthesia or more rarely, under sedation and analgesia . A hand is inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterine cavity and the placenta is detached from the uterine wall and then removed manually.
The prognosis of this complication depends on whether treatment is received by the patient, on the quality of treatment, and on the severity of the abruption. Outcomes for the baby also depend on the gestational age. [5] In the Western world, maternal deaths due to placental abruption are rare.
Lead is able to pass through the placenta and into breast milk, and blood lead levels in mothers and infants are usually similar. [33] A fetus may be poisoned in utero if lead from the mother's bones is subsequently mobilized by the changes in metabolism due to pregnancy; increased calcium intake in pregnancy may help mitigate this phenomenon.

There is no target treatment available for placental disease. Associative prevention mechanisms can be a method of minimising the risk of developing the disease, within early stages of pregnancy. Placental syndromes include pregnancy loss, fetal growth restriction, preeclampsia, preterm delivery, premature rupture of membranes, placental ...
The only treatment is to deliver the foetus. Women may still develop pre-eclampsia following delivery. [64] Placental abruption is where the placenta detaches from the uterus and the woman and foetus can bleed to death if not managed appropriately. [65] Foetal distress where the foetus is getting compromised in the uterine environment. [66]
The placenta, once ejected from the womb, has no circulation and quickly dies; [4] and within 3–10 days postpartum the umbilical cord dries and detaches from the baby's belly. [2] The practice requires the mother and baby to be home bound as they wait for the placenta and umbilical cord to dry, decompose, and separate from the baby. [10]
Postpartum infections; Other names: Puerperal fever, childbed fever, maternal sepsis, maternal infection, puerperal infections: Streptococcus pyogenes (red-stained spheres) is responsible for many cases of severe puerperal fever.
Pregnancy-associated malaria (PAM) or placental malaria is a presentation of malaria in pregnancy which is life-threatening to both pregnant women and unborn fetuses. [1] PAM occurs when a pregnant woman contracts malaria, generally as a result of Plasmodium falciparum infection, and because she is pregnant, is at greater risk of associated complications such as placental malaria.
