uterine balloon tamponade

Uterine balloon tamponade is a medical procedure used to control severe bleeding from the uterus, often after childbirth. A soft balloon device is inserted into the uterus and gently inflated with sterile fluid, applying pressure to the bleeding vessels and helping to stop the bleeding. This minimally invasive method is effective in managing postpartum hemorrhage when other treatments haven't worked. It’s a safe and temporary solution that can stabilize the patient, giving healthcare providers time to address the underlying cause or prepare for more invasive procedures if needed.
