Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains one of the leading causes of deaths in the world, which is a big challenge to obstetric care. Cesarean birth, though life-saving in nature. a lot of situations, is in a greater risk of hemorrhagic complications. This paper will seek to identify the incidence of postpartum bleeding and determine the risk factors of it in women undergoing caesarean. Popular Medical College delivery.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Popular Medical College, Dhaka, Bangladesh from January 2024 to January 2025, 68 women who had caesarean delivery within the period of study. Analysis of the data was done in the SPSS version 25.0 by descriptive statistics.
Results: The prevalence of PPH was 20.6% in 68 caesarean births. Antenatal 42.6% of women had anemia and an anemic mom had a greater PPH. Placenta previa/accreta was present in 11.8% of incidences and exhibited the most significant association with PPH. Emergency caesarean section also. had an increased PPH rate. In total there was 16.2% blood transfusion among all women and in PPH cases, others had to be in the ICU and undergo surgery.
Conclusions: The research indicates that the prevalence of PPH among caesarean births at Popular medical is high (20.6%). College, with some of the main risk factors being antenatal anemia, placenta previa/accreta and emergency caesarean. Many the degree of PPH in this environment was such that affected women needed transfusion and critical care.
