Hello and welcome to HCM
Continuing bleeding after delivery despite treatment can be due to disorders of coagulation system.
I suggest you to consult a hematologist for clinical assessment and relevant investigations- platelet count, bleeding time, clotting time, prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time.
In case any abnormality is detected in any of these tests, further management can be done.
Thanks and take care
