Fizyolojik, hormonal, psikolojik ve sosyal birçok değişikliğin olduğu postpartum dönem, kadın hayatının her alanını olduğu gibi cinsel yaşamını da etkilemektedir. Bu etki çoğunlukla olumsuz olmakta ve kadınlarda sağlık yardımı alma gereksiniminin ortaya çıkmasına yol açmaktadır. Ancak kadınların çoğunluğu özellikle doğumdan sonraki ilk yıl içinde daha sık yaşadıkları cinsel fonksiyon şikayetlerini, herhangi bir yardım almaksızın geçiştirerek ya da kendileri çözmeye çalışarak, cinsel hayatlarını devam ettirme eğilimindedirler. Disparoni, vajinal kuruluk, pelvik taban disfonksiyonu, cinsel isteksizlik/libido kaybı bu dönemde yaşanan en önemli sorunların başında gelmektedir. Bu derleme makalesinde, kadınların postpartum dönemlerinde yaşadıkları cinsel sağlıkları ile ilgili sorunlar ve nedenleri literatür doğrultusunda gözden geçirilmiştir. Ayrıca, ebe ve hemşirelerin postpartum dönemde cinsel sağlık sorunları konusunda bilgilendirilmeleri ve bu süreçte nasıl rol almaları gerektiği üzerinde durulmuştur.
