Late-onset postpartum hemorrhage may sometimes be refractory to conventional methods of treatment. Prostaglandin E2 vaginal suppositories have been described as effective in arresting immediate postpartum hemorrhage secondary to uterine atony. This is the first report of the use of this treatment in a patient with massive hemorrhage three weeks after delivery.
