About parity, 36 patients were primiparous (30%), 81 patients were multiparous (67.5%) and 3 patients were grand multiparous (2.5%). The most repeated cause of PPH was uterine tony which was common among 78 patients (65%). We carried out hysterectomy among 50 patients (41.6%). Conclusion: Majority of the patients were in the age bracket of (36 – 40) years and they were also multiparous.
