This sounds like a case of acute endometritis. In any case, uterus is supplied by uterine artery (branch of internal iliac artery) with collateral flow from ovarian artery (comes right off aorta). I don't think there are any branches of external iliac artery into the pelvis; it becomes femoral artery once it passes under inguinal ligament.

Just to add, the ovarian artery branches from the aorta as well.

if postpartum bleeding does not stop you can ligate the internal iliac but you should remember that reproduction is not compromised because the ovarial artery provides a collateral. FA 2020 P 641
