Other immediate postpartum haemorrhage - what does this mean
Other immediate postpartum haemorrhage is a type of haemorrhage that occurs within the first 24 hours after childbirth and is not related to the delivery of the placenta. it is caused by a variety of factors, including uterine atony, lacerations of the genital tract, retained placental fragments, and coagulopathy. it can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.
What happens during the disease - other immediate postpartum haemorrhage
Other immediate postpartum haemorrhage occurs when a woman experiences excessive bleeding during the first 24 hours after childbirth. this is usually caused by uterine atony, when the uterus fails to contract adequately and the placenta separates from the uterine wall. other possible causes include trauma to the birth canal, retained placental fragments, or coagulation disorders. treatment typically involves administering oxytocin or other uterotonics to help the uterus contract, as well as manual or surgical removal of any retained placental fragments.
