Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Retained placental fragments.
Rationale:
💎 Retained placental fragments prevent complete uterine involution and are a leading cause of early postpartum hemorrhage.
💎 They interfere with the uterus's ability to contract, which increases the risk for continued bleeding.
💎 Identification requires careful inspection of the placenta after delivery and monitoring for boggy uterus or excessive lochia.
💎 Risk is higher in cases of manual placental removal or incomplete separation.
💎 Prompt recognition helps initiate timely interventions like uterine massage, medications, or surgical removal.
