| Abstract | ||||
| Background: The artificial initiation of labor prior to its spontaneous beginning is referred to as induction of labour. The frequency of induction differs depending on region and institution. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of repeated mechanical membrane stripping in labor induction in parous women. Patients and methods: The Obstetrics & Gynaecology Department, Qena University Hospital, South Valley University, conducted the randomized controlled experiment. The patients were split into two groups: A group of 100 women received serial mechanical membrane stripping every three days. Group (B): 100 women who received no intervention. Results: There was a statistically significant greater rate of spontaneous labour in group A than in group B, but there was no statistically significant difference in induction of labour between the two groups. The duration of labour was longer in group B than group A. There is no evidence that sweeping membranes increases the likelihood of unfavourable maternal and newborn outcomes. Conclusion: Sweeping of membranes appears to be an efficient and safe method of shortening the duration of a term pregnancy. | ||||
