After each woman gives birth, the midwife doctor asks if the placenta should be left behind.
Most women are confused about this problem, what should the placenta stay? Since the doctor asked, is there a need to stay on his own? If not, what will happen to the placenta?
Of course, a few women are sure to tell their doctors that the placenta should be taken away by themselves, because it is the most "hearty" meal of their month.
Heavy flavor "confinement meal"
An obstetrician issued a series of soul tortures to the women who used the placenta as an ingredient to make confinement meals, and also expressed their views.
The obstetrician said he had heard of customs in some places where the placenta would be buried in a scenic or special place.
But in fact, many pregnant women choose to eat the placenta, or eat it as a nutrient during the month, boiling soup, making dumplings... There are many kinds of practices.
Yes, this is also a "folk remedy" handed down by the old people, although it has gone through generations, but it is not necessarily correct. For people who did not have enough to eat in the past, the placenta was also a piece of meat, and it was indeed quite nutritious, but now that meat is very common on the table, there is no need to take this risk.
For some areas of the elderly spread the idea of eating placenta supplements, let's listen to what the doctors say.
From a medical and scientific point of view, the placenta cannot be eaten casually, let alone steamed and fried.
Is the placenta edible?
In the film and television drama "Bao Qingtian", there is an episode in which a corrupt official specially collects the placenta of the unborn fetus in order to live forever and make it into a purple river car in traditional Chinese medicine.
According to relevant medical books, Zihe Che was indeed a traditional Chinese medicine, but it has been removed from the relevant national pharmacies a few years ago, and now there is no such medicinal material.
In addition, the Purple River car is not equal to the placenta, and the difference between the two is still very large!
The placenta can only be called a Purple River car after being professionally treated, dried, dried and other procedures, and these procedures also have strict environmental and operational requirements, and are not commonly made.
As for the theory of great supplementation circulating in some areas, it is even more nonsense.
The placenta is a special link between the fetus and the pregnant woman, it will carry many diseases of the pregnant woman, but there may also be some lumps, blood stasis, and may also carry a large number of germs after squeezing through the birth canal during childbirth.
Therefore, if it is only eaten through a simple "cooking" method, it is likely to be infected with diseases, not only can not achieve the purpose of supplementation, but is very susceptible to infection.
Are you still dealing with the placenta the old way? If in doubt, read on.
The "home" of the placenta is here
So, after giving birth, when asked if the placenta should be left, how to choose is the right choice?
In some parts of the country, there is a custom of burying the placenta of babies, which is a commemoration and expectation of the healthy growth of babies. In this case, you can choose to leave the placenta behind and find a suitable place to bury it according to custom.
If a woman feels that the placenta is also part of her October pregnancy and is reluctant to discard it at will, then placental souvenirs may be a good way to keep it.
After professional processing, the placenta can be made into an ornament similar to "root carving" and kept as a souvenir.
Of course, for most people and professional obstetricians, the placenta is a kind of birth waste, from the perspective of modern medicine, there is no nutritional and medicinal value, so the mother can completely give up her own retention, handed over to the hospital to deal with, and the hospital treatment method is basically in accordance with the medical waste to destroy.
Mothers and their families can rest assured that the placenta will not be resold by the hospital, and no one will be able to easily obtain their child's placenta.
At the same time, industry insiders remind everyone that the basic publicity and peddling of placenta in the name of nutritional supplement drugs on the market can be identified as "black market" behavior, and whether the placenta carries germ viruses cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore, it is highly recommended that everyone refuse to buy and refuse to eat!
Please let the placenta quietly pass away after completing the great mission of helping to conceive life, which may be the best memorial to it.
