“…Among the strengths of the study, the following must be highlighted: the sample size is large, with women from different geographical areas and who have been assisted both in public and private hospitals. The instrument used was the SF-36 validated questionnaire [13,14,15], which has already been used in Spanish pregnant women [15].…”

Background: Discomfort during the puerperium period is very frequent in the lives of women but the influence of this discomfort on the women’s quality of life has been little studied. The objective of this study is to establish the association between discomfort and frequent problems of women in the puerperium and their quality of life score. Methods: A cross-sectional study on postpartum Spanish women was performed. Women older than 18 years and who had had a live birth were included. Less than 1% of women refused to participate in the study. Data were collected on socio-demographic, obstetric and newborn variables, on maternal problems/ discomfort in the postnatal period and on parameters that are quality of life indicators. An ad hoc online questionnaire which included the SF-36 Health Survey was used. Crude mean difference (cMD) and adjusted mean difference (aMD) were calculated through multiple linear regression. Results: 2990 women participated in the study. The greater problems causing quality of life loss were depressive symptoms (aMD = −12.40, CI 95%: −10.79, −14.01), lactation problems (aMD = −4.30, CI 95%: −2.97, −5.63), problems for sexual intercourse after childbirth (aMD = −6.34, CI 95%: −5.07, −7.60) and urinary incontinence (aMD = −4.97, CI 95%: −6.30, −3.65), among others. These have been detected as risk factors that affect the quality of life of the postpartum woman. Conclusions: The discomfort and problems manifested in the 6 weeks after childbirth have an influence that deeply affects the quality of life of postpartum women.

“…After childbirth, the reported prevalence of LUTS declines rapidly within 6 months. Numerous risk factors for postpartum LUTS have been widely studied; however, most studies investigating the relationship between pregnancy/delivery and LUTS have follow‐up periods of ≤1 year . The long‐term persistence of LUTS following childbirth, however, is not well documented.…”

“…and LUTS have follow-up periods of ≤1 year. [4][5][6][7] The longterm persistence of LUTS following childbirth, however, is not well documented. Some authors have reported that urinary incontinence (UI) in pregnancy is an important predictor for UI after delivery, but the mode of delivery is also a commonly reported determinant.…”

Objective To investigate the extent of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) during pregnancy and 7 years after birth in primipara and their association with delivery mode history and other factors. Methods A longitudinal cohort study was conducted in 12 hospitals representative of the diversity of the seven administrative regions of China. Of 10 098 women recruited at the third trimester, 3862 (38.25%) responded at 1 year, and 1115 (11.04%) responded at 7 years. A modified Chinese Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms questionnaire was administered. No intervention was implemented. Results Among the participants, 75.4% reported nocturia during gestation, followed by frequency (58.4%), which gradually decreased after delivery. The prevalence of urge urinary incontinence (UUI) increased from 5.7% during pregnancy to 22.8% at 1 year after delivery and 10.2% at 7 years postpartum. The prevalence of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) increased from 29.9% during pregnancy to 46.4% at 1 year postpartum and 23.7% at 7 years after delivery. The odds of storage LUTS and voiding LUTS 7 years after delivery were lower for the cesarean section (CS) group than for the vaginal delivery (VD) group (OR = 0.49, 95%CI, 0.36‐0.68; OR = 0.25, 95%CI, 0.09‐0.70). The most frequent moderately to severely bothersome LUTS after VD was SUI (19.18%), while that for CS was UUI (19.18%). Conclusion The incidence of storage LUTS was higher than that of voiding LUTS both during pregnancy and postpartum. The most frequently reported LUTS during pregnancy were nocturia and frequency, while the most frequent LUTS after delivery were urgency and SUI. CS was associated with a decreased prevalence of both storage and voiding LUTS after delivery.

“…Mulheres com incontinência urinária pós-parto e mulheres submetidas a parto fórceps apresentaram os piores escores na sexta semana. Porém, não houve diferenças estatisticamente significantes dos escores de QV associados ao tipo de parto 20 , expressando que a QV está diretamente relacionada às condições maternas e estas condições podem permanecer por longos períodos de tempo.…”

Objetivo: analisar a qualidade de vida (QV) das puérperas e correlacioná-la com variáveis sociodemográficas, clínicas, obstétricas e neonatais. Método: estudo quantitativo, de delineamento transversal realizado em um hospital de ensino de Uberaba-MG. Foram entrevistadas 103 puérperas. Os dados foram coletados em 2017. Foram analisados por estatística descritiva simples, correlação de Pearson e o Teste t de Student. Para mensurar os escores de QV foi utilizado o instrumento Índice de Qualidade de Vida de Ferrans e Powers. O projeto foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. Resultados: puérperas adolescentes, renda superior a dois salários, número de consultas pré-natal, recém-nascido (RN) macrossômico e Apgar no primeiro minuto favoreceram a melhor QV. Intercorrências durante gestação e/ou durante o parto, problemas de saúde do RN e etilismo prejudicaram a QV. Conclusão: as puérperas apresentaram altos escores de QV, destacando-se os domínios família e psicoespiritual. Aspectos sociodemográficos, clínicos, obstétricos e neonatais influenciaram a QV.
