Homeopathy Medicine for Antepartum Haemorrhage

The foetal and maternal status will depend on the amount, duration, and cause of bleeding. Antepartum haemorrhage (APH) is defined as vaginal bleeding after the 20th week of pregnancy (third trimester), which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality for both the mother and the fetus.

Causes

APH is brought on by:

• nonplacental bleeding:

  from locations other than the placental surface, such as vulvoperineal tears (rarely), vaginal lesions, genital tears/lacerations, and infections, as well as cervical lesions brought on by trauma, cervix cancer, and cervical polyps.

• Placental causes:

• Placental abruption

  According to the site of detachment, haemorrhaging may or may not be visible at the location of placental abruption, which occurs when the placenta separates from the endometrium. If abruption occurs behind the placenta where blood cannot escape through the cervix.

• Placenta praevia:

  When the placenta or any portion of it implants in the lower portion or segment of the uterus, this happens.

  Depending on the connection to the internal cervical, additional clinical classification is possible as:

• PLACENTA PRAEVIA

  • Minor degree:
    • Type 1: The placenta is in the lower segment of the uterus but does not extend into the internal os.
    • Type 2: Internal os and placenta only partially encroach.
  • Major degree:
    • Type 3: The internal os is partially encroached upon by the placenta, and it stays that way even during labor.
    • Type 4: The internal os is completely covered by the placenta, and this relationship is constant throughout the pregnancy.

• Vasa

  praevia:

  When the umbilical cord is inserted into the placental membranes, which is a rare cause of antepartum hemorrhage, blood vessels cross the internal cervical (the site of the umbilical cord insertion) and present over it.

Diagnosis and Investigations

• Haemoglobin levels
• Urinalysis: Haematuria, proteinuria
• Bedside clotting time
• Bleeding time
• Platelet count
• Other: Antepartum hemorrhage can be accurately diagnosed with ultrasound, which provides a high level of accuracy.

HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINE FOR antepartum haemorrhage

Due to the forceful external cephalic version, ARNICA MONTANA is a proliferative hemorrhage of a bright red color mixed with clots that results from the premature detachment of the placenta from the uterus.

When treating passive venous hemorrhages and uterine vessel veicosity, HAMAMELIS VIRGINICA is a great option.

SECALE CORNUTUM: In this medication, cortical necrosis and infarction of the decidua are caused by placenta praevia, as well as painless, profuse bleeding that may also be the result of faulty coagulation.
