“…Caesarian delivery appears to decrease the incidence of dyspareunia in the first 3-6 months but has no further benefit [22]. However, other concomitant factors must be important as mode of delivery was not significant for sexual function in 29 identical twin pairs discordant for mode of delivery [23].…”

In taking a comprehensive psycho-sexual-relational history it is very common to hear that "sex was great until the birth of the first child". Therefore, it is very important to address sexual health in a way that prevents detrimental changes in women's and couples sexual lives. Proactive intervention through open discussion of normal sexuality and sexual concerns during this phase with provision of education and effective strategies is preferable to the unhappiness, pain and disruption that can result through denial of possible consequences. Not all women and couples experience negative sexual consequences as some women experience increased ease of orgasm, desire and general confidence with the birth of the child. However, almost all individuals benefit from affirmation that they are 'normal'. Good communication and co-operation around parenting can significantly increase the intimacy and valence of the relationship with flow on to sexuality and family wellbeing.Sexuality is often not discussed during pre-and postpartum care. Often, the assumption is that a couple has adequate knowledge about sex and that it is enjoyable or good enough because a pregnancy has been achieved, that they will raise any problems, that someone else will address the sexuality component etc. Pregnancy and sexuality are both considered 'natural'. Yes, the instinct and performance of intercourse are largely natural but the enjoyable artistry of lovemaking is a learnt behaviour. Not many cultures actively teach creative lovemaking or educate about how to manage sexuality when changes occur.Pregnancy and childbirth lead to many changes for the mother and father. Both individuals and the couple need to be considered and included in the management of their sex lives. Sexual problems during pregnancy and postpartum that are unresolved can trigger ongoing patterns of discord with detrimental consequences for the man, woman, couple, child and society. This is important because of the relationships between low sexual desire, low sexual activity frequency, relationship satisfaction, domestic violence and relationship and family stability. The postpartum period is often associated with a decline in couple's relationship satisfaction [1]. Relationship satisfaction drops for over 60% of couples in the first 3 years after a child is born [2,3]. Intimacy which is the depth of exchange, both verbal and non-verbal, which implies a deep form of acceptance of the other as well as commitment to the relationship [4] is extremely important as a buffer for changes in sexual function. Low relationship satisfaction is highly correlated with low total relationship intimacy and poor sexual relationship [5]. Transition to parenthood can be both extremely pleasurable and extremely stressful and holistic proactive care should be given. Prevalence of Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) PostpartumThe prevalence of FSD is generally reported as being between 10-40% [6,7]. With the first pregnancy 40-70% of couples experience a drop in marital quality with marital conflict in...

“…La función sexual es un importante indicador de la calidad de vida, el cual esta influenciado por una variedad de factores físicos, psicológicos y sociales (3). Por lo tanto, no debe comprenderse la sexualidad humana sin reconocer de antemano su carácter pluridimensional; es decir, tiene que haber una dimensión personal, individual, donde se expresa el yo del individuo; una dimensión de pareja donde haya una expresión de vivencias, goce, placer o displacer en la pareja; una dimensión familiar donde se manifieste la reproducción y la comunicación filial, así como también una dimensión social donde se exprese comunicación y mandatos sociales (4).…”

“…A pesar que el parto representa un acontecimiento central en la vida reproductiva de una mujer, en términos tantos físicos como psicosociales, este acarrea un impacto potencial en todos los dominios de la función sexual. Diversos estudios han demostrados que las mujeres que han tenido hijos tienen menores puntuaciones en los indicadores auto-reportados de la función sexual, al compararse con las nulíparas, sin embargo se han atribuido más bien a factores psicológicos y sociales que a una lesión del piso pélvico (3).…”

RESUMENObjetivo: Comparar la función sexual (FS) de mujeres con prolapso genital (PG) antes y después de su reparación quirúrgica. Métodos: Investigación de tipo comparativa y aplicada, con diseño cuasi experimental, prospectivo y de campo, donde se evaluó la FS de mujeres con diagnóstico de PG antes y después del tratamiento quirúrgico con técnicas convencionales, mediante el Cuestionario Sexual para Prolapso genital e Incontinencia Urinaria versión corta (PISQ-12). Resultados: Al comparar la FS antes y después de la cirugía reparadora del PG, se determinó que tanto la puntuación total del 90 ± 6,51 vs. 32,17 ± 3,62) como las puntuaciones de las dimensiones respuesta sexual (5,87 ± 2,80 vs. 10,97 ± 2,80) y limitaciones sexuales femeninas (4,88 ± 3,90 vs. 16,77 ± 3,00) fueron significativamente más altas luego de la intervención quirúrgica (p<0,001), a excepción del indicador intensidad del orgasmo (0,80 ± 0,71 vs. 0,87± 0,73; p= 0,722) y la dimensión limitaciones sexuales de la pareja (4,37 ± 2,14 vs. 3,56 ± 2,70; p=0,815) donde sus puntuaciones antes y después del tratamiento quirúrgico no fueron estadísticamente significativas (p>0,05). Conclusiones: Las mujeres con PG presentan una pobre FS, la cirugía reparadora del PG por técnicas convencionales mejoró significativamente la FS de las pacientes con disfunción del piso pélvico, permitiéndoles obtener a estas mujeres una vida sexual más placentera, con mejoría de su calidad de vida.
