What Is The Purpose Of Proluton Depot During 16 Weeks Pregnancy?
Hello Doctor, my wife is 16 weeks pregnant and in her monthly checkup after her scan doctor has prescribed Proluton Depot 250mg injection weekly once. I want to know what would be the reason??and how many weeks she should take that injection?? and in the report doctor writes,Plasenta Posterior extending upto internal os. means what?
It is a hormone which is given to support for early pregnancy. A posterior segment placenta is quite common but as it is extending to the internal os hence chances of an alarming anti-partum haemorrhage are there.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ajeet Singh, General & Family Physician
