The patient is showing signs of hemodynamic compromise with a significant drop in hemoglobin. This is suggestive of acute haemorrhage. As uterine bleeding is not evident and a bulge is present at site of episiotomy, it appears to be a case of a large hematoma at episiotomy which should be urgently explored, evacuated and bleeder should besecured.
