Irregular bleeding or contact bleeding, etc., the amount of bleeding can be more or less. But after a normal birth, many people don’t know the cause of vaginal bleeding, have a lot of confusion, and don’t know how to deal with such a situation. Let us learn what to do if vaginal bleeding occurs during normal delivery through the following article.

1. If there is a small amount of bleeding, pay attention to the patient's mental state, count the pulse, and let the patient rest in bed.

Take some sedatives or hemostatic drugs at the same time. Wait until your condition stabilizes before going to the hospital.

Vaginal bleeding in women can be caused by a variety of reasons, but if you encounter dysfunctional uterine bleeding, vaginal bleeding during pregnancy, etc., you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

In addition, if the amount of bleeding is small but there is severe abdominal pain, it may be internal bleeding. Therefore, if you bleed during pregnancy, no matter how much bleeding, you should contact an ambulance and seek medical attention as soon as possible.

4. When bleeding occurs, let the patient lie down and rest quietly. If your body temperature drops, you can use an electric blanket to keep your whole body warm. If you appear pale, sweat, and have a rapid pulse, these are signs of shock - you should elevate your feet and rest quietly.

5. In case of severe bleeding, place absorbent cotton pads on the genitals and wrap the T-belt tightly. If there is a small amount of bleeding, you can just use a sanitary napkin to cover it.
