Postpartum hemorrhage primarily refers to bleeding from the vagina exceeding 500 milliliters within 24 hours after the delivery of the fetus, and bleeding exceeding 1000 milliliters for cesarean deliveries. It is classified as postpartum hemorrhage. Normally, active hemostatic symptomatic treatment should be pursued in cases of bleeding after childbirth. The majority of cases are often caused by poor uterine contraction, which significantly raises the likelihood of postpartum hemorrhage. Generally, it is necessary to actively use drugs that promote uterine contractions to help in reducing bleeding by aiding the contraction of the uterus.
