Chapter 1751 [1751] Rumors

In the    office, Wu Lixuan learned some medical knowledge from friends who studied medicine: "What is a placenta?"

I asked this because Xie Wanying and Senior Yin said when discussing the patient's condition just now: "I checked at the time, and her condition was probably partially implanted in the uterus. Maybe because there was no color Doppler ultrasound in this area before childbirth, the previous The doctors at the hospital didn't notice this when they performed a cesarean section, and they caused massive bleeding when they performed the placenta removal."

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 is attached to the uterine wall. After a normal mother gives birth, the fetus is delivered, and the placenta completes it. The historical mission of the fetus 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?" Wu Lixuan was surprised after hearing her explanation, "I remember hearing people say that the placenta can be eaten as a supplement. What is the Chinese medicine called Ziheche?"

"Ziheche is a processed product... The placenta cannot be eaten directly. Of course, some people take it back and cook it and eat it by themselves. This doctor can't control it." Xie Wanying talked about the folk rumors that she often heard clinically, and clarified it. Dao said, "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 people who really study medicine know some common sense, they will not eat this food, let alone rumors that doctors take other people's placenta back to eat is simply nonsense. Medical students are most afraid of various bacterial and viral infectious diseases. Some diseases cannot be eliminated by cooking at high temperature. The structure in the placenta itself has blood vessels, and it contains such things as the human body. It is dirty, and whoever is studying medicine dares to eat it. Those who dare to eat are definitely not real medical technology giants.

has always said that in the circle of doctors, the level of knowledge is high and low. The pain for doctors is that the low-level and unskilled ones 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 what happened to Fa Xiao.

"It's about umbilical cord blood preservation. Placenta preservation is also available, but it is relatively rare." Xie Wanying knows that the clinical application of medical technology to placenta has not reached the level of umbilical cord blood at this stage, and the use of umbilical cord blood is relatively mature clinically. However, an indisputable fact is: "The preservation of umbilical cord blood and placenta, which are not involved in public hospitals at this stage, are all external private companies. It is difficult to say whether signing a contract can really guarantee you intact for decades. Unlike reproductive The technical preservation of eggs and sperm is provided by public hospitals and is guaranteed."

"So—" Wu Lixuan asked.

"So most of the current clinical applications are for current use. Mothers take umbilical cord blood to save another child."

Wu Lixuan, after listening to Faxiao's words, understands that these promotions are not cost-effective for ordinary people, and they belong to the IQ tax. Of course, it doesn't matter that the rich spend money.

After a while, Yin Fengchun, who was sitting silently, received a dissatisfied glance from his girlfriend.

"You said he was a person, I asked him a few questions, he didn't answer me a word, and he had the temper of a big doctor." Wu Lixuan complained that not every doctor is willing to make a small science like her.
