“…This may be due to postpartum vaginal and perineal rehabilitation, hormonal regulation, reduction in depression and insomnia, and adaptation to postpartum conditions. 32 Consistent with the present study, Khajehei et al 33 reported that dyspareunia is a very common complaint in the first 6 months after delivery. A US study by Pauls et al 34 also showed that women may not be able to achieve normal sexual function until 6 months postpartum.…”

Background Dyspareunia is one of the most common postpartum sexual dysfunctions. Objective To estimate the prevalence of postpartum dyspareunia. Search strategy Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and Embase databases were searched to July 2019 using keywords including ‘perineal pain,’ ‘dyspareunia,’ and ‘sexual pain’. Selection criteria Observational studies on the prevalence of postpartum dyspareunia were included. Data collection and analysis Two authors independently reviewed articles and extracted data. Study heterogeneity was evaluated by I2 index; publication bias by Egger and Begg tests. Main results Twenty‐two studies enrolling 11 457 women were included. Based on meta‐analysis, the overall estimated prevalence of dyspareunia was 35% (95% confidence interval [CI], 29%–41%). The prevalence was 42% (95% CI, 26%–60%) at 2 months, 43% (95% CI, 36%–50%) at 2–6 months, and 22% (95% CI, 15%–29%) at 6–12 months postpartum. Begg test showed no significant bias in data related to the prevalence of postpartum dyspareunia (p = 0.466). Conclusion The prevalence of postpartum dyspareunia was 35% and decreased with increasing postpartum duration. Given the high prevalence and its impact on a woman's quality of life, special attention should be paid to this common complaint during the postpartum period.

A study found that 40.4% of women experienced sexual arousal disorder during the postpartum period [37]. In our study, the women's level of sexual arousal before pregnancy was significantly higher than the level of sexual arousal after childbirth.…”

Aim: Sexual dysfunction can affect women's quality of life and marriage. This study compared the sexual lives of primipara women before, during pregnancy and in the postpartum period. Methods: This descriptive follow-up research comprised 100 primipara women who agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected using the survey form and the Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale. Number, percentage, means, standard deviation, median, minimum, maximum values and Friedman analysis were used to analyze the data. Results: Women's sexual desire and orgasm level before pregnancy were significantly better than their postpartum orgasm level. Our study results showed that the level of sexual arousal and lubrication before pregnancy was significantly better than that after birth. We also determined that women's postpartum orgasm satisfaction was significantly less than their pre-pregnancy and pregnancy orgasm satisfaction. Based on Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale average, the sexual dysfunction of women before pregnancy was significantly less than during the pregnancy and postpartum periods and the pregnancy period was better than the postpartum period (P<0.001). Conclusion: This study has reported that sexual dysfunction in women is less during pre-pregnancy; however, it increases during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

“…Age and duration of marriage showed insignificant correlation to FSFI domains in contrast to Dennerstein et al [16] and Banaei et al [17] studies, respectively. This difference is because almost three quarters of the participating women were in their second decade and had been married for less than 5 years in contrast to previous studies.…”
