One hundred women underwent uroflowmetry once per day for the first 3 days after delivery, and the results compared to those of 53 nonpregnant controls in an effort to determine 1) whether urinary flow in the puerperium is different to that found without pregnancy, 2) whether uroflow parameters change as the puerperium progresses, and 3) which characteristics of a patient or her labour bear most influence upon the results of uroflowmetry. Urinary flow in the puerperium was seen to be different from that of the nonpregnant female in that mean flow rates were lower. In addition to this, voided volume, total flow time, and time to peak flow were all significantly increased on day 1, but were comparable on days 2 and 3. Other than for falling voided volumes, uroflow parameters did not alter significantly as the puerperium progressed. Correlation of the variables age, parity, baby weight, length of first and second stage, use of epidural and perineal suturing with the parameters of urinary flow failed to show any significant relationship.
