Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Any hemorrhage which occurs with in the 24 hours of the delivery which is more than 500 ml is known as postpartum hemorrhage. It can be categorized as per the loss of blood volume. If the blood loss is less than 20% it is known as mild, if its between 20 and 40 it is known as moderate and of its more than 40 than its severe postpartum hemorrhage. It can only be estimated by blood loss and not by the parameters you have asked for. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
