Shear wave speed changes in the cervix and vulvar lips of Kivircik ewes before and after parturition

In conclusion, it was possible to identify changes in the cervix and vulvar lips during the days preceding normal parturition and on the day of postpartum in ewes. Final ripening of the IOC and edema of the vulvar lips were reflected by decreased SWS values. Marked uterine contractions persisting during the postpartum period resulted in increased SWS values at the IOC.

Abstract

In conclusion, it was possible to identify changes in the cervix and vulvar lips during the days preceding normal parturition and on the day of postpartum in ewes. Final ripening of the IOC and edema of the vulvar lips were reflected by decreased SWS values. Marked uterine contractions persisting during the postpartum period resulted in increased SWS values at the IOC.
