Keywords:

Background: The placenta may be situated fully or partially to the lower uterine section, which is known as placenta praevia. Although it may be seen in the first trimester as well, it often occurs in the second or third trimester. Placenta praevia is the main cause for antepartum hemorrhage or vaginal bleeding. Objective: To assess the placenta praevia frequency in women with previous caesarean section. Methodology: The current study was cross sectional study, carried out at the Obstetrics and Gynecology department, Category D hospital Ghara Tajik for duration of six months from July 2022 to December 2022. All the data was collected in a pre-designed proforma. All the data was analyzed by using SPSS version 24.00. Results: In the current study, totally 120 participant were enrolled. Based on age distribution, 96 (80%) participants age was ranged from 20-32 years whereas 24 (20%) patients were ranged in age from 33-45 years. The overall frequency of Placenta previa diagnosed by ultrasound was 24 (20%) in women with previous caesarean section. By stratifying the placenta previa with parity, a significant association was observed (p=0.001).
