Chapter 1751 [1751] Rumors
In the office, Wu Lixuan learned some medical knowledge from a friend who is a medical student: "What is a placenta?"
I asked this because when Xie Wanying and senior Yin discussed the patient's condition just now, she said: "I checked at the time, and her condition is likely to be that part of the placenta implanted in the uterus. It may be because there was no color Doppler ultrasound examination before delivery. The doctors at the hospital did not pay attention to this when performing the cesarean section, and when the placenta was removed, it caused heavy bleeding."
Fa Xiao intervened to ask questions, and Xie Wanying replied: "The placenta is an organ that provides nutrition to the fetus. It is connected with the fetus by the umbilical cord and attached to the wall of the uterus. After a normal mother gives birth, the fetus is delivered, and the placenta completes it. The historical mission will be accompanied by a piece of umbilical cord attached to the fetus that will naturally fall out of the uterus. In medicine, it can also be called human waste. It is like a wound on the skin that grows and scabs off. "
"Is that so?" After listening to her explanation, Wu Lixuan was taken aback, "I remember hearing people say that the placenta can be eaten, it's a tonic, and what Chinese medicine is called Ziheche."
"Ziheche is a processed product. The placenta cannot be eaten directly. Of course, some people take it home and cook it for themselves, but this doctor has nothing to do with it." Xie Wanying talked about the folk rumors that are often heard in clinical practice, and clarified, "The hospital will ask the mother if she wants to take her placenta back. If the mother does not take it, the hospital will treat it as medical waste and burn it after harmless treatment."
To put it bluntly, as long as you really study medicine and understand some common sense, you won't eat this thing, let alone rumors that doctors take other people's placenta back to eat it is simply nonsense. Medical students are most afraid of various bacterial and viral infectious diseases. Some diseases cannot be eliminated by high-temperature cooking. The structure inside the placenta itself has blood vessels, which contain things like the human body. They are dirty things, and no one who is a medical student would dare to eat them. Those who dare to eat are definitely not real medical technology giants.
I have always said that in the circle of doctors, there are high and low levels of knowledge. Doctors suffer because those low-level and unethical people drag themselves into the water.
Wu Lixuan remembered that she had been to a boss's house before, someone came to sell placenta preservation, and then asked Faxiao what was going on.
"It's about the preservation of umbilical cord blood. There is also preservation of placenta, which is relatively rare." Xie Wanying knows that the clinical application of medical technology to placenta at this stage has not reached the level of umbilical cord blood, and the use of umbilical cord blood is relatively mature in clinical practice. However, an indisputable fact is: "The preservation of umbilical cord blood and placenta is not involved in public hospitals at this stage, and it is mainly external private companies. It is hard to say whether signing a contract can really guarantee you that it will be intact for decades. Unlike Reproductive technology to preserve eggs and sperm is provided by public hospitals and is guaranteed.”
"So—" Wu Lixuan asked.
"So most of the current clinical applications are current ones. Mothers take umbilical cord blood to save others and give birth to a child."
After listening to what Fa Xiao said, Wu Lixuan understood that these promotional gadgets are not cost-effective for ordinary people, and they belong to IQ tax. Of course, it doesn't matter if the rich spend money. In the future, regulations are required to ensure the development of the latest medical technical norms. In fact, the national umbilical cord blood bank will be established relatively soon, and it only needs to wait another one or two years.
After a while, Yin Fengchun, who was sitting silently, received a dissatisfied glance from his girlfriend.
"You talk about him, and I asked him a few words, but he didn't answer me a word, acting like a big doctor." Wu Lixuan complained that not every doctor is willing to give a little science like her.
