Retention of placenta occurs when the placenta or parts of it remain attached to the uterine wall after childbirth, failing to be expelled within a reasonable timeframe, typically about 30 minutes. This condition can lead to complications such as severe bleeding, infection, and prolonged recovery for the mother. Treatment often involves medical intervention, such as medications to promote uterine contractions or, in some cases, surgical procedures to remove the retained tissue. It's important for healthcare providers to monitor for this condition after delivery to ensure maternal health and safety.
