Postpartum Examination

A postpartum examination is an internal and general physical assessment performed after childbirth to evaluate potential complications that may arise during the postpartum period. It is an essential check-up for all mothers.

​

Benefits of a Postpartum Examination

• Detect internal abnormalities, such as uterine infection (endometritis), retained placenta, or issues related to perineal or surgical wounds.

• Enable timely treatment if postpartum symptoms or complications are present.

• Provide personalized guidance and recommendations for postpartum self-care.

• Offer contraceptive counseling for mothers wishing to begin a birth control method.

 

Optimal Timing for a Postpartum Check-up

A postpartum examination is recommended 4–6 weeks after delivery, as this is the period when the body begins returning to its pre-pregnancy state.
