What are the common causes of postpartum hemorrhage?

Patient's question:

After giving birth, the continuous dripping of blood with a reddish hue is similar to menstrual bleeding. What are the common causes of postpartum bleeding?

Doctor's answer:

If the mother's mental state is too tense during the labor process, excessive use of sedatives, or excessive anesthesia, it may lead to uterine contractions without rupture. Or, due to excessive amniotic fluid or multiple pregnancies. Due to excessive expansion of the uterus, uterine fibers become excessively stretched, and after childbirth, they cannot recover well. Excessive labor may cause the uterine muscle fibers to undergo degenerative changes, leading to the fusion of tissue and the continuous increase of muscle fibers, resulting in poor contraction, which is also one of the reasons for postpartum hemorrhage. Placenta retention is also a cause of heavy bleeding, including incomplete placental detachment and placenta adhesion, which can lead to heavy bleeding. It must be given high attention.
