Subjects and methods: Our study was conducted at Obstetrics and Gynecology department, in Benha University & Nasr City police Hospitals. A comprehensive sample was taken including all women who are at medium and high risk for PPH after cesarean section birth. Cases were divided into two groups: a study group and a control group. (25 cases in each group),
