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 discussed 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 because there was no color ultrasound examination in this area before delivery. The doctors at the hospital who performed the cesarean section did not pay attention to this 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 it is a tonic. The Chinese medicine is called Zihe Che."
"Zihe Che 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, not to mention the rumors outside that doctors take other people¡¯s placentas and eat them back 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, which contain things like the human body. They are dirty things. No one who studies medicine would dare to eat them. Those who dare to eat 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 standards 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 her placenta preservation, and then asked her about the baby.
"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: "Umbilical cord blood and placenta preservation, at present, public hospitals are not involved, all are external private companies. It is difficult to say whether signing a contract can really guarantee that it will be intact for decades. Unlike reproduction, The technology to preserve eggs and sperm is provided by public hospitals and is guaranteed.¡±
¡°So¡ª¡ª¡± 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 hearing what Fa Xiao said, Wu Lizhen 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 the rich 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, acting like a great doctor." Wu Lixuan complained that not every doctor is willing to give out popular science like her. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
