Postpartum infections can affect both mothers and newborns, especially after C-sections, prolonged labour, or invasive procedures.

Common sources include:
• Urinary tract infections

These are not just “hospital germs”—they often arise from physiological stress and procedural risks around childbirth.

Post-partum infections are an important but often overlooked health risk after childbirth. These infections can involve the uterus, bladder, or surgical wounds (like cesarean sites) and may present with fever, pain, foul discharge, or delayed recovery. Early recognition, good hygiene, timely medical care, and appropriate antibiotic therapy are key to preventing complications and ensuring safe post-natal recovery for mothers.
