Placental Abruption
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Placental abruption, also called abruptio placentae, occurs when the placenta separates from the wall of the uterus before the time of delivery, during pregnancy.
Why it matters: Since the placenta nourishes and oxygenates the baby, its premature separation is an obstetric situation that requires immediate care to protect both the mother and the baby.
Warning signs: Vaginal bleeding, abdominal or back pain, intense or painful contractions, or changes in the baby's movements.
Who treats it? The gynecologist, especially with an obstetric focus, is the professional who monitors and manages this condition, and the general practitioner can provide guidance at a first contact. If bleeding, strong abdominal pain, or any warning sign like those described appears during pregnancy, seek emergency medical care without waiting, since time is critical.
