Getting clots out of the vagina has the advantage that you know whatever comes out in the recovery room is new bleeding, but it only requires some suprapubic pressure to empty the vagina on the operating table. Pushing things into the vagina from below is a good way to get infection into the upper genital tract. Don't do it! Steve All Cesarean sections are "contaminated procedures". The vagina and uterus is a continuous space. Suprapubic pressure on the operating table with patient's legs closed likely would result in fluid from the vagina being pushed up into the uterus as well as out of the vagina. I don't think you can say that your way is better than my way. I have enjoyed my good results and would like to continue to do so. Neverthelss, it is interesting to know what other people are doing out there. Respectly, Allan

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.
