[[The Puerperium - Overview of the Puerperium - Anatomy & Physiology|Puerperium]] describes the period of time immediately following parturition, when the female enters a period of reproductive repair and begins lactation. For a period of time these two processes overlap. During this time the female experiences regular [[The Puerperium - Myometrial Contraction and Expulsion of Lochia - Anatomy & Physiology|myometrial contractions]] which expel the remaining fluid and tissues present following birth and allowing the uterus to begin [[The Puerperium - Endometrial Repair- Anatomy & Physiology|involution and repair]]. The discharge appears at the vulva and is known as [[The Puerperium - Myometrial Contraction and Expulsion of Lochia - Anatomy & Physiology|lochia]].
