Postpartum Hemorrhage Management

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is excessive bleeding after childbirth. Managing PPH involves immediate actions to control bleeding and stabilize the mother. Medical providers typically monitor vital signs, massage the uterus to encourage it to contract, and may administer medications to help the uterus tighten. In severe cases, fluid replacement or blood transfusions may be necessary. Surgical intervention could be required if bleeding doesn’t stop with these measures. Timely recognition and treatment are crucial to ensure the mother's safety and recovery after childbirth.
