Female sexual function changes considerably during pregnancy and the postpartum period. In addition, women's physical and mental health, endocrine secretion, and internal and external genitalia vary during these times. However, there are limited studies on the relationship between delivery and sexual function.
The present study aimed to demonstrate the association between sexual function and delivery mode.
Mothers who delivered a single baby at term were recruited for the study, and 435 mothers were analyzed.
The Female Sexual Function Questionnaire (SFQ28) scores and mothers' backgrounds were assessed at 6 months after delivery.
The delivery mode affected the SFQ28 partner domain. Episiotomy affected the arousal (sensation) domain. Multiple regression analysis revealed that maternal age and cesarean section were significantly associated with several SHQ28 domains.
This study suggests that routine episiotomies at delivery should be avoided to improve postpartum maternal sexual function. Maternal age and cesarean section were found to affect postpartum sexual health.
女性的性功能在怀孕期间和产后会发生很大的变化。此外，女性在这些时期的身心健康、内分泌分泌以及内外生殖器都会发生变化。然而，关于分娩与性功能之间的关系的研究还很有限。
本研究旨在证明性功能与分娩方式之间的关系。
招募了单胎足月分娩的母亲进行研究，共分析了 435 位母亲。
产后 6 个月评估女性性功能问卷（SFQ28）评分和母亲背景。
分娩方式影响 SFQ28 的伴侣领域。会阴切开术影响了唤起（感觉）领域。多元回归分析显示，母亲年龄和剖宫产与几个 SHQ28 领域显著相关。
本研究表明，分娩时应避免常规会阴切开术，以改善产后母亲的性功能。产妇年龄和剖宫产术被发现会影响产后的性健康。
