This review highlights the role of thrombocytopenia in postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), a leading cause of maternal mortality. It explains how reduced platelet counts—caused by gestational, hypertensive, immune, or coagulation disorders—impair hemostasis and increase bleeding risk during delivery. The paper emphasizes early diagnosis, continuous platelet monitoring, and multidisciplinary management to improve maternal outcomes.
