Abstract

Objective: Sonographic evaluation of the uterus on 3rd day after normal, vaginal delivery in women with benign fever.

Materials and methods: 112 primiparous patients after vaginal delivery on term, following uncomplicated pregnancy. Group I (n = 78, 69.6%) with body temperature below 37.5 degrees C, group II (n = 34, 30.4%) with temperature higher than 37.5 degrees C. In all patients following sonographic features were evaluated: uterus volume, uterine cavity volume and uterine cavity content.

Results: No significant differences were observed.

Conclusions: We suggest, that uterus volume, uterine cavity volume and uterine cavity content is not often correlated with benign fever following vaginal delivery.
