Dr. Yu Jiang
Umbilical cord blood flow refers to the assessment of blood circulation within the umbilical cord and between the cord and placenta, providing valuable insight into fetal development. Abnormal umbilical cord blood flow may indicate fetal hypoxia or ischemia. As umbilical cord blood flow patterns vary throughout gestation, it is recommended that pregnant women attend scheduled prenatal check-ups at the hospital and, based on clinical findings and physician diagnosis, pursue timely and appropriate treatment.
