<< The answers are obviously individual to the patient in question, but in general, what does everyone give as a prescription and quantity for pain relief on discharge for the following:

1) vaginal delivery 2) cesarean section 3) abd hyst 4) vag hyst >>

My back-up sends our c/s home with Percocet. I have never sent any medication home with my vaginal deliveries. (15 years) Have never had a request for such or any phone calls from home or complaints at the post-partum visit. I do strongly recommend ibuprofen 600-800mg., (especially to the multips.) to be taken every 6 hours for two or three days.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
