Can heavy bleeding kill people?

It is said that giving birth is like leaving the Naihe Bridge. There is some truth to this. Giving birth is indeed a risky thing. There are too many unpredictable factors in the delivery process, which will directly threaten the safety of pregnant women. Will internal bleeding during abortion lead to death?

1. What is postpartum hemorrhage?

"Postpartum hemorrhage" refers to the bleeding of more than 500ml for vaginal delivery or more than 1000ml for cesarean section after the baby is delivered. Generally, bleeding after vaginal delivery is widely underestimated, because from the moment the fetus is delivered to the moment the uterus is completely contracted, hundreds of ml of blood may be lost, and some pregnant women do not feel any discomfort after bleeding. Therefore, although according to their definition, bleeding exceeding 500 ml is considered postpartum hemorrhage, in fact not every such pregnant woman is judged to have abnormalities after giving birth.

Postpartum hemorrhage can be divided into the following two types according to the time of occurrence, and the causes of the disease are also different:

Premature onset (or immediate onset) refers to onset within 24 hours after delivery. Most of the time, it is caused by poor uterine contractions or birth canal lacerations and can be discovered and diagnosed shortly after delivery.

Late onset: refers to the condition that occurs within 24 hours to 6 weeks after delivery. It may be caused by retained placenta or poor uterine recovery. The symptoms occur and the diagnosis is relatively late.

What is the risk of internal bleeding?

In the past, due to limited medical standards, there were many cases of pregnant women dying from difficult labor. Nowadays, with the development of medical treatment, the probability of pregnant women dying from difficult labor has been greatly reduced, but there are still many conditions that can cause the death of pregnant women.

The most common pregnancy and childbirth crises are mainly the following: the first is postpartum hemorrhage, which is one of the main causes of death among pregnant women and ranks first in China; the second is eclampsia, which is one of the five types of high blood pressure diseases during pregnancy and is the second most fatal disease after postpartum hemorrhage. In addition, several pregnancy complications such as heart disease, hepatitis, hyperthyroidism, kidney disease, etc. are also relatively dangerous pregnancy and childbirth crises.
