breast problems (41.06%) followed by prolonged rubra
lochia (24.83%) and insufficient milk production
(18.21%). The incidence of constipation, leg cramp or
joint pain and abdominal pain was significantly lower in
the urban intervention group than the control group. Significantly
more women in the rural control group had
prolonged lochia rubra than the intervention group. No
significant differences were found in other health problems
between the two groups in both areas.
