A member asked:
I've had a retained placenta for over a month now and i've recently gotten quite sick. no doctor has suggested removing it. should i be worried?

Be worried: If you have a retained placenta for over a month, you are at risk of getting a very bad infection inside the uterus. You need to be seen right away and have it removed. This can be very serious, even life-threatening. Don't take a chance.
