In the office, Wu Lixuan learned some medical knowledge from her medical friends: "What is the placenta?"
I ask this because when Xie Wanying and Senior Yin were discussing the patient's condition just now, she said: "I checked at the time and found that her condition was probably partially implanted in the uterus. It may be that there was no color ultrasound examination in this area before delivery.
The doctors at the hospital did not pay attention to this when performing the cesarean section, and caused massive bleeding when they removed the placenta."
When asked, Xie Wanying replied: "The placenta is an organ that provides nutrition to the fetus. It is connected to the fetus by the umbilical cord and attached to the uterine wall. After normal maternal delivery, the fetus is delivered and the placenta completes its function."
The historical task of the fetus will be accompanied by the umbilical cord connected to the fetus, which will naturally fall off from the womb. In medicine, it can also be called human waste. It is like the scab on a wound on the skin."
"Is that so?" After hearing her explanation, Wu Lixuan was surprised, "I remember hearing people say that the placenta is edible and that it is a tonic. The Chinese medicine is called Zihe Che..."
"Zihe car is a processed product. The placenta cannot be eaten directly. Of course, some people take it back and cook it for themselves. This is beyond the control of doctors." Xie Wanying clarified when talking about folk rumors often heard in clinical practice,
"The hospital will ask the mother if she wants to take her placenta back. If the mother doesn't take it, the hospital will treat it as medical waste and burn it after harmless treatment."
To put it bluntly, as long as those who are serious medical students know some common sense, they will not eat this thing, let alone the rumors spread by outside that doctors take other people’s placentas and eat them back, which is simply nonsense. Medical students are most afraid of various bacterial and viral infectious diseases.
Some diseases cannot be eradicated by cooking at high temperatures. The structure inside the placenta itself has blood vessels and contains things like the human body. It is a dirty thing. Whoever studies medicine dares to eat it. Those who dare to eat it are definitely not real medical technology experts.
I have always said that in the circle of doctors, there are high and low levels of knowledge. What makes doctors miserable is that those with low levels and no technical ethics drag themselves down.
Wu Lixuan remembered that she had been to a boss's house before, and someone came to sell placenta preservation, and then asked about the baby.
Gu "We are talking about umbilical cord blood preservation. Placenta preservation is also available, but it is relatively rare." Xie Wanying knew that the current clinical application of medical technology for placenta has not reached the level of umbilical cord blood, and the use of umbilical cord blood is relatively mature clinically.
However, an indisputable fact is: "At present, public hospitals are not involved in the preservation of umbilical cord blood and placenta, all of which are done by external private companies. Whether signing a contract can really guarantee that it will be intact for decades is hard to say. No.
Reproductive technology such as egg and sperm preservation is provided by public hospitals and is guaranteed."
"So——" Wu Lixuan asked.
"So most of the current clinical applications are for immediate use. Mothers collect umbilical cord blood to save lives and have another child."
After listening to Fa Xiao's words, Wu Lixuan understood that these promotional gadgets were of low cost performance for ordinary people and were considered an IQ tax. Of course, it doesn't matter if rich people spend money.
After a while, Yin Fengchun, who was sitting silently, received a dissatisfied glance from his girlfriend.
"You talk about him. I asked him a few questions, but he didn't answer me a word. He behaved like a great doctor." Wu Lixuan complained that not every doctor is willing to give out popular science like her.
