Question
A patient inquires about the significance of O-type blood and Rh positive traits, as well as their possible effects on the body and fetus.
Answer
Medical professionals explain that O-type blood and Rh positive are different blood type classifications that typically do not affect health. However, if the mother is O-type blood and the fetus is B-type or A-type blood, neonatal hemolytic disease may occur, making prenatal examinations very important. Active treatment should be sought promptly in the event of related conditions.
