Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. A history of caesarean section is often considered a risk factor for PPH due to potential uterine scarring and impaired contractility. This study aims to compare the incidence of PPH in individuals with and without a history of one previous Lower Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS). Method: A retrospective observational study was conducted on 200 postpartum individuals, divided into two groups: 100 without a history of LSCS and 100 with one previous LSCS. PPH was clinically diagnosed based on estimated blood loss, and data were analyzed using the chi-square test to compare PPH incidence between the groups. Result: PPH was observed in 10% of individuals without a prior LSCS and in 12% of those with a history of one LSCS. The difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.821). Most PPH cases were managed medically, with no significant differences in intervention rates between the groups. Conclusion: The study found no significant association between a history of one previous LSCS and increased risk of PPH. These findings suggest that individuals with a single prior LSCS have comparable PPH risks to those without, supporting safe delivery planning in subsequent pregnancies. |
