PPH stands for postpartum hemorrhage, which is a serious but rare condition where a woman experiences heavy bleeding after giving birth. It can occur within 1 day of giving birth, but it can also happen up to 12 weeks after having a baby. Symptoms of PPH include heavy bleeding from the vagina that doesn’t slow or stop, drop in blood pressure or signs of shock, nausea or vomiting, and pale skin. PPH can be caused by a variety of factors, including conditions that affect the uterus or the placenta, or conditions that affect how blood clots. Early detection and prompt treatment are crucial for a full recovery, and healthcare providers treat PPH as an emergency in most cases. Treatment options include stopping the source of the bleeding as fast as possible, replacing blood volume, and performing surgery if necessary.
