Placenta Previa
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Placenta previa is a pregnancy situation in which the placenta is positioned so that it covers, fully or partially, the outlet of the uterus.
How it presents: It can be associated with vaginal bleeding during pregnancy, usually without pain, though each case is different.
When to see a doctor? With any bleeding during pregnancy, it is advisable to seek timely evaluation; prenatal follow-up allows this condition to be identified in time.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist is the one who monitors the course of the pregnancy and defines the most appropriate follow-up according to each situation. Keeping up with prenatal care and reporting any warning sign to a professional is the best way to care for the pregnancy.
