Description
Qing Guo and co-authors present a 2026 study of hand pressure on the womb to stop heavy bleeding after vaginal birth. Such bleeding is a top cause of death for new mothers, above all where trained staff are scarce. Older methods press from inside the body and can hurt, while proof of benefit stays thin.
The team tested pressure applied from outside the belly in a single-center group of women with bleeding after birth. They focused on bleeding from a womb that fails to tighten and from placenta problems. The study judged whether the method was practical and whether it controlled the bleeding. A simple, low-cost technique that works could matter greatly in clinics with few staff and little equipment.
