    [1] [2] [3] It may appear in the first few weeks of newborn infants during the healing process of the umbilical cord due to an umbilical mass. [4] It is the overgrowth of the umbilical tissue. [5] It develops in about 1 out of 500 newborns. [6] With appropriate treatment, it is expected to heal in 1~2 weeks. [4]

  4. Prelabor rupture of membranes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prelabor_rupture_of_membranes

    PPROM causes one-third of all preterm births. [22] PROM provides a path for disease-causing organisms to enter the womb and puts both the mother and baby at risk for infection. Low levels of fluid around the baby also increase the risk of umbilical cord compression and can interfere with lung and body formation of the baby in early pregnancy. [22]

  5. Perineal tear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perineal_tear

    Tears vary widely in severity. The majority are superficial and may require no treatment, but severe tears can cause significant bleeding, long-term pain or dysfunction. A perineal tear is distinct from an episiotomy, in which the perineum is intentionally incised to facilitate delivery. Episiotomy, a very rapid birth, or large fetal size can ...

    It is the most common cause of early pregnancy bleeding and is associated only with heavy (versus light) bleeding. [8] However, patients typically remain hemodynamically stable. Threatened early pregnancy loss, often considered a type of early pregnancy loss, refers vaginal bleeding in the presence of an intrauterine pregnancy and a closed cervix.

  7. Pyogenic granuloma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyogenic_granuloma

    Usually, no treatment is used if the pyogenic granuloma occurs during pregnancy, since the lesion may heal spontaneously. Recurrent bleeding in either oral or nasal lesions may necessitate excision and cauterization sooner, however. If aesthetics are a concern, then treatment may be prioritized.

    Causes include: acute pancreatitis, where methemalbumin formed from digested blood tracks around the abdomen from the inflamed pancreas; bleeding from blunt abdominal trauma; bleeding from aortic rupture; bleeding from ruptured ectopic pregnancy; Importance of the sign is on a decline since better diagnostic modalities are now available.

  9. Wound healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_healing

    Timing is important to wound healing. Critically, the timing of wound re-epithelialization can decide the outcome of the healing. [11] If the epithelization of tissue over a denuded area is slow, a scar will form over many weeks, or months; [12] [13] If the epithelization of a wounded area is fast, the healing will result in regeneration.
