What are the exceptional disease/diseases, requiring post partum hysterectomy?

Update:

Yes, some times, I am asking about rarities, or out of the blue e.g. like non involution of uterus. Thank you, PCOS and Rupture of uterus.

    If you're talking postpartum as in IMMEDIATE postpartum, that would be due to uncontrolled hemorrhage, which could be happening in an intact uterus, or in a uterus that has ruptured during labor / birth. All attempts would first be made to stop the bleeding, but sometimes it just cannot be done, and hysterectomy is indicated.

    In the later postpartum period, severe infection could be a cause. This would also be extremely rare and all measures to treat the infection would first be undertaken. Usually bleeding/hemorrhage is a co-existing problem at this time as well.

    But there are many other reasons why hysterectomy might be indicated in women who are not in the postpartum state, but I won't list them since you specifically asked about postpartum hysts.

    For me, I had PCOS, which caused severe period pains, and really heavy periods and they were irregular, so I went to my doctor and got checked out and consulted with my doctor and we agreed that having a hysterectomy would be the best, and I am so glad I had it to this day.♥♥♥
