PPH Full Form in Medical

What is the PPH Full Form in Medical?

PPH Full Form in Medical is Postpartum Hemorrhage. When a woman experiences excessive bleeding after giving birth, this is known as a postpartum hemorrhage. It’s extremely unusual but potentially fatal. It typically occurs within 24 hours of delivery, but can occur up to twelve weeks later. PPH affects about 1–5 out of every 100 pregnant women.

What else should you know about PPH?

The placenta is often expelled by the uterus as it contracts after birth.  As your uterus contracts, it presses on the blood veins near where your placenta was attached.  Your uterine placenta develops into a vital organ that nourishes and oxygenates your unborn child via the umbilical cord.

Vessel bleeding increases if contractions are weak.  It can also occur if fragments of the placenta remain attached to the mother’s uterus.

If you experience any of the following, it is possible that you have PPH. If that’s the case, get in touch with a doctor or emergency immediately:

• Persistent, vagina heavy bleeding
• Hypotension or other symptoms of shock
• Blurred vision; experiencing chills, clammy skin, and a particularly fast heartbeat; experiencing confusion, dizzy, tired, or weak; going to faint are all symptoms of low blood pressure & shock.
• Feeling sick to one’s stomach (nausea) or actually puking
• Light-colored or white skin
• Vaginal or perineal swelling and discomfort between the vagina & the rectum is a thin membrane called the perineum.
