NCT Number: NCT06998641
This study was planned to investigate the efficacy of different treatment methods that can be used in the treatment of hemorrhagic tears that may occur in the postpartum period. The volunteers who will participate in the study will be evaluated during the hospitalization period after delivery and at the end of the puerperium 6 weeks after delivery, in accordance with routine postpartum control examinations. In the treatment of postpartum hemorrhagic tears, the treatment options such as suturing the tears to stop bleeding or applying tampons with bleeding stopping agent (chitosan) and compression effect to the torn area will be determined completely randomly.
