Abstract

The present study is to detect acid phophatase activity in post coital vaginal swab & its relation with post coital interval (PCI).

The age of the subjects ranged from 20–40 yrs, who were all parous and their husbands were fertile. Vaginal swabs were collected after enquiring detailed history of (time & date) recent vaginal intercourse, douching and contraceptives. The collected samples were kept in refrigerator at 4ºC till the analysis was done. Quantitative analysis of Acid phosphatase was done by using Modified Kings Method (using the kit manufactured by Coral clinical syst, Goa, India).
