Placental debris (fragments of the placenta, tissues that remain in the uterus) ; Causes, symptoms

Placental debris refers to fragments of placental tissue that remain in the uterus after childbirth or miscarriage. These remnants can lead to inflammation, infection, and abnormal uterine bleeding if not properly expelled. Causes & Risk Factors Incomplete placental separation during delivery. Placenta accreta (abnormal attachment of the placenta to the uterine wall). Uterine atony (failure of the uterus to contract effectively). Previous uterine surgeries (e.g., cesarean section, dilation & curettage). Symptoms Prolonged postpartum bleeding. Pelvic pain or cramping. Foul-smelling vaginal discharge (suggesting infection). Fever and uterine tenderness. Complications Endometritis (uterine infection). Infertility due to scarring. Sepsis in severe cases. Diagnosis & Treatment Ultrasound to detect retained placental tissue. Medical management with uterotonics (e.g., oxytocin, misoprostol). Surgical removal via dilation & curettage (D&C) or hysteroscopy #Placenta
