Post-partum Misery: A Family Physician's Perspective
Abstract
A chart audit of 106 women after delivery was undertaken consecutively to discover the extent and type of problems they encountered during the first six months after childbirth. In 34% of the charts, no complaints were noted. The most common problems were non-obstetrical infections, fatigue, and back pain, while hemorrhoids, dyspareunia, and depression were noted less often.
