Transfusions may be required in various gynecological scenarios, including but not limited to: - Postpartum Hemorrhage: A significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality, especially in cases of uterine atony, lacerations, or retained placenta. - Surgical Procedures: Major gynecological surgeries such as hysterectomy, myomectomy, or procedures for endometriosis can sometimes result in significant blood loss. - Ectopic Pregnancy: Ruptured ectopic pregnancies can lead to internal bleeding, necessitating urgent transfusions. - Severe Menorrhagia: Women experiencing heavy menstrual bleeding may develop severe anemia requiring transfusion. - Cancer Treatment: Gynecological cancers (e.g., ovarian, cervical) often require aggressive treatments that can lead to anemia.
