Postpartum Hemorrhage

Emergency Care for Safe Maternal Recovery

What is Postpartum Hemorrhage?

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is excessive bleeding that occurs after childbirth and is considered one of the most serious obstetric emergencies. It may develop immediately after delivery (primary postpartum hemorrhage) or occur several days to weeks later (secondary postpartum hemorrhage). Prompt recognition and treatment are essential to protect the mother's health.

The most common causes of postpartum hemorrhage include poor contraction of the uterus after delivery (uterine atony), retained placental tissue, tears in the birth canal, and blood clotting disorders. Without timely treatment, severe blood loss can lead to shock and other life-threatening complications.

Early diagnosis, continuous maternal monitoring, rapid medical intervention, and evidence-based emergency obstetric care play a vital role in controlling bleeding and preventing complications. With prompt treatment and comprehensive postpartum care, most women recover safely and regain their health after delivery.

Personalized Care

How is Postpartum Hemorrhage Diagnosed?

Dr. Sumiti Mehta performs a rapid clinical evaluation to identify the cause of excessive bleeding after childbirth and initiate prompt treatment to protect the mother's health.

Step 1

Clinical Assessment

Immediate assessment of blood loss, vital signs, symptoms, and the mother's overall condition to determine the severity of postpartum hemorrhage.

Step 2

Physical Examination

Examination of the uterus, birth canal, and surrounding tissues to identify uterine atony, tears, or other sources of bleeding.

Step 3

Placental Assessment

Evaluation is performed to determine whether any placental tissue remains inside the uterus, which may contribute to continued bleeding.

Step 4

Laboratory Investigations

Blood tests are performed to assess hemoglobin levels, blood clotting function, blood count, and overall maternal health.

Step 5

Ultrasound Examination

Ultrasound imaging may be recommended to identify retained placental tissue or other underlying causes of postpartum bleeding.

Step 6

Continuous Maternal Monitoring

Blood pressure, heart rate, urine output, oxygen levels, and response to treatment are continuously monitored to ensure stabilization and safe recovery.
