What to do if postpartum hemorrhage recurs?

Pregnant women are weak after giving birth and are prone to some health problems, so they should pay attention to their own physical changes, do timely check-ups, and ensure their health. Among the various physical conditions of postpartum women, there is a common bleeding condition after delivery. The phenomenon of bleeding from the vagina is called lochia. Repeated postpartum bleeding should actually be called repeated postpartum lochia. So what should we do when a woman suffers from repeated postpartum bleeding?

1. Actively treat various pregnancy diseases before delivery, such as pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome, anemia, vaginitis, etc.

2. For patients with premature rupture of membranes and prolonged labor, antibiotics should be given to prevent infection.

3. After delivery, carefully check whether the placenta and fetal membranes are complete. If there are any residues, deal with them in time. Check the placenta and fetal membranes. Lay the placenta flat with the mother facing up, and pay attention to whether the lobes can be aligned and whether there are any defects. Then lift the fetal membrane to check whether it is intact, and pay attention to whether there are abnormal blood vessels passing through the fetal membrane. If there are broken blood vessels, it means that there may be an "accessory placenta" remaining in the uterus. If the placenta is incomplete or most of the fetal membranes remain, it must be removed manually or with instruments into the uterine cavity under strict disinfection to prevent postpartum hemorrhage or infection. If a small part of the fetal membrane remains, uterotonics can be used after delivery to promote its natural expulsion.

4. Adhere to breastfeeding, which is beneficial to uterine contraction and the discharge of lochia.

5. Observe the color, amount and smell of lochia every day after delivery. Normal lochia should be odorless but have a bloody smell. If an odor is found, it may be that there are fetal residues in the uterus and should be treated immediately.

6. Measure the degree of uterine contraction regularly. If you find that the contraction is poor, you should ask a doctor to prescribe uterotonics.

7. Keep the vagina clean. Because of the discharge of lochia, women should change sanitary napkins frequently to keep clean. It is best to temporarily refrain from sexual intercourse to avoid infection.

The above are the measures to deal with repeated postpartum hemorrhage. In fact, the most important thing for mothers facing repeated postpartum hemorrhage is to do a good job of examination and pay attention to personal hygiene, so there will generally be no major problems. Of course, if there are other special circumstances, you need to seek medical attention in time to avoid wasting precious medical time.
