Abstract
Abstract: Postpartum haemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal mortality at a worldwide scale. The postpartum morbid consequences include problems, such as postpartum infection, anaemia, perineal tears, urinary tract infection, and depression; others defined in the literature as long-term morbidities/disabilities include incontinence, fistula, pelvic inflammatory disease, genital prolapse, hypertension, haemorrhoids, nerve damage, pituitary failure, anaemia, and infertility. Information on postpartum morbidity in developing countries is limited and, when available, usually describes the type of medical conditions diagnosed at the hospital level. The maternal includes different short-and long-term morbid conditions that can result from acute obstetric complications or poor management at delivery. Many of the maternal morbidities and disabilities may arise during delivery or in the first 1-2 week(s)following delivery and can become chronic if not cared for appropriately. The aim of this study was to review the literature on signs and symptoms of post-partum morbidity.
