Placental diseases refer to medical conditions or disorders that affect the placenta, which is an organ that develops during pregnancy to provide nutrients and oxygen to the fetus. These diseases can disrupt normal placental function, potentially leading to complications such as restricted fetal growth, preeclampsia, placental abruption, or stillbirth.
