Fundal massage is an effective method for controlling postpartum bleeding associated with uterine atony. It helps to stimulate contractions and can reduce blood loss by firming up the uterus. In cases of uterine atony where the uterus is not contracting effectively, this physical intervention can be a first-line response to encourage contraction and reduce bleeding.
