Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Postpartum hemorrhage is the most common complication of retained placental fragments. This condition is caused by a part of the placenta or membrane that is left inside the uterus during the third stage of labor. The retained fragments keep the uterus from fully contracting, resulting in subinvolution and hemorrhage. It usually occurs in cases of succenturiate placenta.
