A major new study published in The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine reveals that women who experience severe bleeding after childbirth, known as postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), face significantly elevated risks to their cardiovascular health for up to 15 years after delivery. The peer-reviewed analysis, which included data from more than 9.7 million women across Europe, North America, and Asia, found that postpartum haemorrhage increases the likelihood of cardiovascular disease by 76% and thromboembolic events such as blood clots by 110%.
