Uterine Doppler ultrasound in monitoring the treatment effect for late postpartum hemorrhage: a case report / 中华围产医学杂志

ABSTRACT

We report a woman with twin pregnancy who suffered from repeated late postpartum hemorrhage at 16 days and 22 days after a cesarean section. Tortuous myometrial vessels with significant flow signal on the uterus were discovered through color Doppler ultrasonography. In both occasions, vaginal bleeding was reduced after uterotonic administration, and Doppler ultrasound found gradually narrowed tortuous tubular myometrial vessels and no further massive vaginal bleeding. Regular Doppler ultrasonography follow-up is of vital importance for the diagnosis and monitoring of recurrent late postpartum hemorrhage.
