Retained placenta without haemorrhage - what does this mean
Retained placenta without haemorrhage occurs when the placenta does not detach from the uterine wall after childbirth, either because of the placenta not separating from the uterus or because the uterus is not contracting properly to expel the placenta. this can lead to postpartum haemorrhage, infection or both.
What happens during the disease - retained placenta without haemorrhage
Retained placenta without haemorrhage is a condition where the placenta fails to separate from the uterine wall after childbirth and is not accompanied by excessive bleeding. it is most commonly caused by an abnormally adherent placenta, uterine atony, or a combination of both. uterine atony is the most common cause and is caused by a lack of contractions of the uterine muscles, which can be due to a number of factors such as pre-existing medical conditions, prolonged labour, or an excessive use of medications during labour.
