Cesarean section is one of the most frequently performed obstetric procedures worldwide. Although secondary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) after cesarean section is uncommon, it remains a potentially life-threatening condition and a significant cause of maternal morbidity, even in regions with low maternal mortality.
