New research suggests the coronavirus can invade and destroy the placenta and lead to stillbirths in infected women.
It's an uncommon outcome for any pregnancy but women with COVID-19 face an elevated risk. Authorities believe vaccination can help prevent these cases.
Dr. Jesus Samaniego is the chief of obstetrics and gynecology at Kelsey-Seybold Clinic in Houston, Texas and discusses the results of a recent study that found COVID-19 vaccines could temporarily impact the length of a woman's menstrual cycle. He and his colleagues wanted to see if that was the case with stillbirths in women with COVID-19. But what they found was almost the opposite: it was the placenta that was infected and extensively destroyed.Normal placenta tissue is a healthy reddish hue and spongy. The specimens they studied were stiff, with dark discolorations of dead tissue. While other infections can sometimes damage the placenta, Schwartz said he’d never seen them cause such consistent, extensive destruction.
