Postpartum uterine bleeding requires prompt blood replacement for the mother to prevent infection and shock caused by excessive blood loss. In such cases, the mother's life may be at risk; therefore, timely hemostasis and blood transfusion are crucial. The occurrence of postpartum uterine bleeding indicates weak uterine contractility, so measures must be taken to enhance uterine contractions.
