POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGE

After normal delivery, more than 500 milliliters of bleeding and more than 1000 milliliters of bleeding after cesarean are called postpartum hemorrhage. It is normal to have less bleeding than these amounts after birth.
As a result of postpartum hemorrhage, complaints such as blood pressure drop, pulse rate and darkening of the eyes, dizziness and fainting occur in the mother.
Conditions that increase the risk of postpartum hemorrhage:
- Prolongation of delivery
- Tears in the vagina or cervix during childbirth
- Uterine atony
- Having a blood clotting disorder in the mother
- Placenta remains in the uterus, placenta is not separated completely
- Uterine inversion
- Placenta accreta
- The baby is excessively large
- Polyhydramnios
- Instrumental birth
Treatment:
- Massage is done for the uterus to harden
- It is tried to give the mother plenty of intravenous fluids
- In order for the uterus to harden, drugs such as oxytocin, ergometrine, misoprostol are given.
- If necessary, the mother is given blood.
- If a piece of placenta remains in the uterus, an abortion is performed to remove it.
- If there are tears in the vagina or cervix, they are repaired.
- In unstoppable bleeding with these methods, uterine and ovarian arteries, hypogastric arteries, which supply blood to the uterus, are connected. It may even be necessary to take a uterus (hysterectomy).
