Abstract
In a comparative controlled study made using 374 non-nursing mothers, dienestrol in the dose employed was practically as effective as diethylstilbestrol in preventing breast engorgement postpartum; alpha-estradiol was comparatively ineffective. Dienestrol had the advantage that breast engorgement seldom recurred after it was discontinued whereas recurrence was frequent after admn. of diethylstilbestrol.Keywords
