May result from: Uterine atony Lower genital tract lacerations Retained products of conception Uterine rupture Uterine inversion Placenta accreta
adherence of the chorionic villi to the myometrium Coagulopathy Hematoma
Most common
![Page 16: Puerperium Nazila Karamy –MD Genecology and Obstetric Specialist .](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649dde5503460f94ad6871/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
