Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide. PPH is defined as blood loss greater than 500ml after birth. It can occur in the first 24 hours after delivery (primary PPH) or between 24 hours and 6 weeks (secondary PPH). Risk factors include difficult labor, large babies, and placenta problems. Diagnosis is based on signs of excessive bleeding rather than exact blood loss measurements. Treatment involves administering uterotonic drugs, manually compressing the uterus, and in severe cases surgical procedures to stop the bleeding.
