Abstract
100 postpartum women were treated with stilbestrol for breast engorgement. 46 were multiparous and 54 primip-arous. Treatment was continued from 1-6 days and the dosage varied from 5-50 mg. When the adm. of stilbestrol was begun within 24 hrs. postpartum and continued for 5 days, 10 mg. daily, breast engorgement was prevented in most cases. The initiation of lactation was usually delayed but not entirely inhibited. When lactation had been established the amt. of engorgement was not noticeably altered by stilbestrol treatment, however, milk secretion was appreciably diminished.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
