What is postpartum cervical bleeding?

A major cause of postpartum cervical bleeding is rupture of the wound during cesarean section. At this time, we recommend that the mother go to the hospital for treatment. Generally, a caesarean section will cause certain damage to the uterus, but we must pay attention to keeping calm, so as to prevent cervical bleeding. Now let’s take a look at all the reasons why you may have postpartum cervical bleeding.

Bleeding exceeding 500 mL within 24 hours after delivery is called postpartum hemorrhage, 80% of which occurs within 2 hours after delivery. Late postpartum hemorrhage refers to heavy uterine bleeding that occurs during the postpartum period 24 hours after delivery, and is more common 1 to 2 weeks after delivery. Postpartum hemorrhage is a serious complication of delivery and one of the four major causes of maternal mortality. In recent years, postpartum hemorrhage has been the leading cause of maternal mortality in my country, especially in remote and backward areas.

Depending on the situation of placental separation, retained placenta, placenta adhesion and partial retention of placenta and/or fetal membranes can affect uterine contractions and cause postpartum hemorrhage. Retained placenta: If the placenta has not been expelled within 30 minutes after the fetus is delivered, it is called retained placenta. It may be due to improper use of uterotonic agents or rough massage of the uterus, which stimulates spasmodic uterine contractions and forms a contraction ring at the junction of the upper and lower segments of the uterus or at the external os of the cervix, which embeds the detached placenta in the uterine cavity and causes placental retention. Weak uterine contractions or compression of the lower segment of the uterus due to a full bladder can also cause the placenta to be retained in the uterine cavity even though it has been detached.

Postpartum hemorrhage usually occurs within 2 hours after the delivery of the fetus, and can occur before, after, or both before and after the delivery of the placenta. Vaginal bleeding can be heavy bleeding in a short period of time, or it can be light bleeding that continues for a long time. It is usually overt, but there are also cases of occult bleeding. The main clinical manifestations are vaginal bleeding, hemorrhagic shock, and secondary anemia. If excessive blood loss occurs, disseminated intravascular coagulation may occur. The severity of symptoms varies depending on the amount and rate of blood loss and whether anemia is present. Heavy bleeding in a short period of time can cause shock rapidly.

From the analysis of the causes of postpartum cervical bleeding in this article, you should all know that after the fetus is born, the placenta and fetal membranes in the mother's body have not yet been expelled, so postpartum cervical bleeding may be due to the influence of the expulsion of the placenta, or it may be due to a caesarean section. You can consult a doctor's opinion.
