Our aim to conduct the descriptive study was to determine the maternal and neonatal outcomes of frequent vaginal examinations during labor. Data were collected in the first 24 hours, between days 2-5, in week 2 and in week 6 after the birth. No statistically significant correlation was observed between the frequency of vaginal examinations and the development of genitourinary or neonatal infections. On the other hand, it was seen that being a primipara were risk factors for a woman's developing a genitourinary infection while an increase in the number of personnel performing the vaginal examination was a risk factor for a neonatal infection.
