Diagnosis of placental adhesion with Doppler ultrasound
placental accreta or adhesion of the placenta to the uterine tissue can have different degrees. From the hard adhesion of the placenta to the surface of the uterine tissue to the penetration and advancement of the placenta into the uterine muscle and even passing through the placenta and even passing through the surface of the uterus and involving the adjacent organs of the uterus. This is not a common occurrence, but since it can be asymptomatic until the end of pregnancy and can be dangerous for the mother during childbirth or after, the people we will talk about in the following should have a Doppler ultrasound examination during pregnancy. This ultrasound is done once during pregnancy to check placenta accreta or placenta adhesion.

Symptoms of placenta accreta or placental adhesion
One of the important symptoms of placenta accreta or placental adhesion is bleeding in the third trimester of pregnancy, which must be paid attention to.
A good ultrasound, especially if it is combined with a color doppler ultrasound, can more accurately detect the adhesion of the placenta to the uterus.
If placenta accreta is diagnosed, the mother should be under the doctor's supervision until the delivery and undergo a diagnostic examination, including detailed ultrasounds. Sometimes, due to the severity of this problem, it is necessary to give birth earlier. In addition to giving birth, it may be necessary to remove the uterus to save the mother's life.
Therefore, giving birth to mothers needs more attention in centers or hospitals equipped with all the necessary facilities and equipment.
