Postpartum Examination A Reevaluation

Authors: C. R. MABRAY MD

Abstract

ABSTRACTFour hundred patients were polled to determine their attitudes and experiences regarding birth control measures, length of postpartum bleeding, and compliance with the advice to avoid sexual intercourse until the postpartum examination. As postpartum bleeding decreases and/or stops, there is a marked tendency for patients to resume full activity. Many patients resume coitus very early and participate frequently without apparent significant complication.
