Placental Dysfunction
Placental dysfunction, also called placental insufficiency, occurs when the placenta fails to provide the baby with the oxygen and nutrients it needs during pregnancy. The placenta is the organ that connects the mother with the fetus.
Why it matters: poor function can affect the growth and well-being of the baby, so monitoring it is important.
When to seek care? Regular prenatal care helps detect any problem in the pregnancy's development in time.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist is the professional in charge of monitoring and following up on the pregnancy. Keeping up with prenatal visits and discussing any change with your doctor is the best way to look after this process.
