The patient usually manifests fever, uterine tenderness, and has had a cesarean.Hepatic subcapsular hematoma: bleeding into the liver parenchyma leading to collection of blood distending the liver capsule. This condition, a complication of preeclampsia, puts the patient at risk for hematoma rupture and substantial bleeding.Ovarian vein thrombosis: a condition where pelvic veins involving the gonadal vein have a thrombus (clot), usually infected. The patient usually presents with fever, lateral abdominal pain, and may have a palpable pelvic mass.Placenta accreta: abnormal adherence of the placenta to the uterine lining, usually due to abnormal placental penetration into the decidual layer of the endometrium. This condition is increased by the number of prior cesareans.Postpartum hemorrhage: bleeding after delivery traditionally exceeding 500 mL on a vaginal delivery, and 1000 mL on a cesarean delivery. Early postpartum hemorrhage is less than 24 hours after the delivery, and late postpartum hemorrhage means exceeding 24 hours after delivery.Puerperium: the time after delivery until 6 weeks postpartum.Retained placenta: substantial amount of chorionic villi and products of conception retained in the uterus, typically causing bleeding or infection.
