Aim  To compare the mean of anteroposterior (AP) measurements of the uterus in longitudinal and oblique transverse planes, and the pulsatility index (PI) and resistive index (RI) of the uterine artery and superficial skin wound artery between patients taking  Channa striatus  and placebo.    Background    Channa striatus , also known as haruan, is a fresh water snakehead fish consumed in many parts of Southeast Asia.  Channa striatus  is also normally consumed by women postpartum to promote wound healing as well as to reduce post-operative pain.    Methodology  This study is a randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled study conducted in women after Lower Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS). Subjects were randomised to either a  Channa striatus  or a placebo group and were given a daily dosage of 500 mg of  Channa striatus  extract or 500 mg maltodextrin, respectively, for six weeks post LSCS. The anteroposterior measurements of the uterus in the longitudinal and oblique transverse planes, and the pulsatility index (PI) and resistive index (RI) of the uterine and superficial skin wound arteries were assessed using pelvic Gray-scale ultrasound and Doppler ultrasound at baseline (Day 3) and at two weeks, four weeks and six weeks post-operatively.    Results  Sixty-six subjects were randomised into the study with 33 in the  Channa striatus  group and 33 in the placebo group. No significant differences were detected in terms of the pulsatility index (PI) and the resistive index (RI) of the uterine and superficial skin wound arteries between the  Channa striatus  and placebo groups. However, in the  Channa striatus  group, the AP measurements of the uterus on the longitudinal and oblique transverse planes were significantly lower compared to the placebo group (p<0.05 and p<0.001, respectively).    Conclusion  Daily intake of  Channa striatus  extract results in marked differences compared to placebo in terms of uterine involution and recovery in women post LSCS.
