Highlights
Sheehan’s Syndrome is a chronic health condition specific to women who have experienced postpartum hemorrhage
Postpartum hemorrhage is defined as a total blood loss of 1,000 mL or more with associated hypovolemia within the first 24 hours after giving birth [2]
The decline in mortality has led to a rise in the recognition and diagnosis of a rare complication of postpartum hemorrhage known as Sheehan’s Syndrome
Summary
It is estimated that postpartum hemorrhage takes place in 1-2% of all live births [5]. With a range of 0-30% of cases reported following postpartum hemorrhage [9]. One study reports that the average time between hemorrhage and diagnosis ranges from 1 to 33 years [12]. A study of the industrialized nation France found that the average time between hemorrhage and diagnosis was approximately 9 years [13]. Delayed diagnosis is attributed to the practitioners’ inability to link broad spectrum symptomology to the condition. This inability does not stem from indifference, but rather stems from a lack of awareness of the rare condition and the lack of focus on postpartum and menstrual history in the years following delivery [14]
