“…Perineal pain at 6 months after delivery was reported by 14% of the present cohort, a value that is in accordance with other studies [17,18]. This value does not differ from the reported incidence of perineal pain during pregnancy [19]. In the present study, the 2 women with a higher score of perineal pain had a minor skin duplicature that caused narrowing of the introitus and was easy to repair.…”

“…In his study, 15% of women actively asked about possible dysfunctions after birth and 15% of women actively asked about possible solutions to their health problems; in contrast to our study, in which only 8% of women did so [22]. At the same time, 53-83% experienced sexual problems that appear from 6 th weeks to 3 months after birth [22,25,26]. It is important to actively inquire about these problems because women themselves tend not to verbalize their problems [27].…”

AbstractIn the majority of recent textbooks of obstetrics, a routine follow-up examination at the end of the postpartum period is recommended. To date, no studies have been done in the Czech Republic addressing use of contraception and follow-up care in the postpartum period. Questionnaires were sent to 672 participants who gave birth in the year 2008, inquiring about follow-up examinations in the postpartum period and use of contraception. In total, 458 (68.2%) questionnaires were returned. 430 women (93.9%) underwent routine examinations at 6 weeks into the postpartum period. At the time of examination, 36 women were asked about their particular health problems (8.4%). In 130 instances, the question most often addressed by the outpatient gynecologist concerned use of contraception (30.2%). However, only 34 physicians expressed concern about changes in sexual life or other sexually related problems. 426 women (93.0%) were sexually active and 310 women (72.8%) did not use any contraception with the exception of breastfeeding. The current practice of outpatient gynecological visits at 6 weeks postpartum and advice on contraception both seem inadequate.

“…[21][22][23] Linear regression analysis showed that delay in initiation of coitus was linked to a shorter interval after CS than after episiotomy; while earlier initiation of coitus was associated with a shorter interval after SVD than after IVD. This relationship was, however, not significant.…”

Abstract:The aim of the study is to identify the factors influencing contraceptive use and initiation of sexual intercourse after childbirth. This was a cross-sectional descriptive survey involving 256 consecutive women, who delivered between April and October, 2007, presenting at the Immunization Clinic, University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Nigeria in April, 2008. Data was obtained using an interviewer-administered structured questionnaire. Women who had antenatal and postnatal counseling were significantly more likely to use contraceptives than those who did not have counseling (odds ratio (OR) 0.29; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.14-0.59; P = 0.0002 and OR 0.18; 95% CI 0.08-0.38; P = 0.0000002 respectively). Other variables significantly associated with contraceptive use included education (P = 0.0470) and reproductive goal (P = 0.0303). Linear regression analysis showed direct relationship between caesarean section and episiotomy as modes of delivery, and initiation of coitus (r 2 = 0.439 and 0.45 respectively). Concerning residence after childbirth, staying at home and with in-laws showed direct relationship with initiation of coitus (r 2 = 0.208 and 10.750 respectively). The number of women abstaining from intercourse showed a decreasing trend with increasing months after childbirth. Initiation of coitus was significantly associated with resumption of menstruation (P , 0.0001) and non-contraceptive use (P = 0.0089).In conclusion, this study shows the need for use of postpartum contraception before fecund women become susceptible to pregnancy.
