About Antepartum Hemorrhage

Antepartum hemorrhage (APH) is a critical obstetric emergency characterized by vaginal bleeding occurring after 20 weeks of pregnancy and before the onset of labor. It is not a single procedure but a clinical diagnosis requiring immediate evaluation and management by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. The primary goals are to identify the source of bleeding, assess the well-being of both mother and fetus, and initiate life-saving interventions to prevent complications like maternal shock, fetal distress, or preterm birth. Management is highly individualized, ranging from close monitoring and bed rest for minor cases to emergency interventions like cesarean section for major placental abruption or placenta previa. Prompt diagnosis and expert care are paramount for ensuring the best possible outcomes.
