Summary

This study looks at how long a balloon used to stop heavy bleeding after childbirth should stay in place. Researchers want to see if removing it after 6 hours works just as well as the usual 18 hours. The goal is to help mothers recover faster, spend less time in the hospital, and have less pain. The trial involves 64 women who had a vaginal delivery and needed this balloon treatment.
