Purpose. To examine the uterine involution period after uncomplicated delivery in primiparous andmultiparous women. Methods.\nLongitudinal prospective study. Repeated parameters were measured and endometrial contents and diastolic notch were observed.\nMeasurements of primiparous and multiparous women were carried out after labour on the 1st, 3rd, 10th, 30th, 42nd, and\n60th postpartum days. The analysis was performed using SPSS version 21. Results. The median uterus parameters are bigger in\nmultiparous group in physiological puerperium, but the decreasing trend is the same. The endometrial cavity on the 10th day\nwas significantly wider in multiparous women and mainly echo-negative view of the uterine cavity was observed. The evaluation\nof the uterine angle deviation changes from an extremely retroverted position to a more anteverted position. RI of the uterine\nartery in both groups was low immediately after labour and significantly increased onemonth postpartum. Notching of the uterine\nartery undergoes changes, but diastolic notch does not appear in all postpartum women even after two months following labour.\nConclusions.The puerperium period after normal vaginal delivery depends on parity.The trend of involution in primiparous and\nmultiparous women follows a similar pattern, yet, it lasts longer in the multiparous women. Ultrasound of uterine is certainly a\nuseful tool after labour and may be important in facilitating an early detection of postpartum uterine complications.
