Obstetrical Hemorrhage

Obstetrical hemorrhage refers to significant bleeding during pregnancy, labor, or immediately after delivery. It can be caused by factors like placenta issues, tears in the birth canal, or retained tissue after birth. This bleeding can be serious if not managed promptly, as it may lead to low blood pressure or other complications for the mother and baby. Medical teams monitor and treat obstetrical hemorrhage using techniques such as medications, uterine massage, or surgery to control bleeding and ensure the safety of both mother and child. Early recognition and prompt treatment are essential for positive outcomes.
