Introduction
If, in the late stages of pregnancy, the placenta remains low-lying at 1.1 cm without moving upward and is accompanied by symptoms such as vaginal bleeding, infection, or signs of preterm labor, then a low-lying placenta at 1.1 cm is considered relatively serious. However, if the placenta is low-lying at 1.1 cm during early pregnancy, with potential for the placental position to move upward, and there is no vaginal bleeding or other abnormal symptoms, then a low-lying placenta at 1.1 cm is not considered severe.
In general, whether a placenta lying 1.1 cm low is serious depends on the specific clinical situation. In late pregnancy, especially when accompanied by bleeding or other complications, a placenta lying 1.1 cm low is usually considered serious. However, if there are no obvious symptoms of bleeding during early to mid-pregnancy, it may not be severe. If any discomfort occurs, prompt medical consultation is recommended. Detailed analysis is as follows:
If, in late pregnancy, the placenta remains low-lying by 1.1 cm and has not moved upward, and symptoms such as vaginal bleeding, infection, or signs of preterm labor occur, then a placenta lying 1.1 cm low is considered relatively serious. It is advisable to seek timely medical attention and receive targeted treatment under a doctor's guidance.
If the placenta lies 1.1 cm low during early to mid-pregnancy, there is still potential for the placental position to move upward as the pregnancy progresses, and if there is no vaginal bleeding or other abnormal symptoms, then a placenta lying 1.1 cm low is generally not considered serious.
It is important to rest adequately, avoid strenuous exercise, abstain from sexual intercourse, and seek immediate medical care if abnormal bleeding occurs.
