Sexual life of pregnant women alters during pregnancy due to the physiologic,' anatomic and hormonal changes in her body. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate female sexual functioning after becoming pregnant.
A prospective survey study including 148 pregnant women. An anonymous questionnaire including 60 inquiries concerning intimate relationship before and during pregnancy was performed. The following statistical test were used: Chi-square test of independence, Spearman's rank correlation coefficient and Wilcoxon test. The significance level of p = 0.05 was assumed.
Most of the respondents were between 31 and 40 years old (55%). Majority of them were married (86%). During pregnancy, slightly more than half of women had a moderate need for sexual intercourse (51%), a large percentage of them had a low need (32%), a high need for intercourse was declared by 17% of women. The correlation analysis showed a statistically significant relationship between women's education and the need for sex before pregnancy (p = 0.049). Respondents with higher degrees of education more often felt the need for intercourse before pregnancy. No correlation was found between education and the need for intercourse after pregnancy (p = 0.107). After becoming pregnant, 51% of women had less need for intercourse, 7% more, and 42% the same as before pregnancy, and these differences were statistically significant (p < 0.001). Also, a decreased satisfaction with sexual intercourse was reported during pregnancy (p < 0.001). After getting pregnant, the average number of intercourses decreased in majority (71%) of respondents, and differences in the number of intercourses before and during pregnancy were statistically significant (p < 0.001).
Pregnancy has significant impact on woman's sexuality. After becoming pregnant majority of women declare less need for sexual intercourses, decreased number of intercourses with less satisfaction.
由于女性身体的生理、解剖和激素变化，孕妇的性生活在怀孕期间会发生改变。因此，本研究旨在评估女性怀孕后的性功能。
这是一项前瞻性调查研究，共纳入 148 名孕妇。采用匿名问卷对她们怀孕前后的亲密关系进行了 60 项调查。使用了卡方检验、斯皮尔曼等级相关系数和 Wilcoxon 检验。假设 p 值 = 0.05 为显著性水平。
大多数受访者年龄在 31 至 40 岁之间（55%）。大多数已婚（86%）。在怀孕期间，略超过一半的女性对性生活有中等需求（51%），很大一部分女性需求较低（32%），17%的女性表示对性生活有较高需求。相关性分析显示，女性教育程度与怀孕前的性需求呈统计学显著相关（p = 0.049）。受教育程度较高的女性在怀孕前更常感到需要性生活。教育程度与怀孕后的性需求之间没有相关性（p = 0.107）。怀孕后，51%的女性对性生活的需求减少，7%的女性需求增加，42%的女性与怀孕前相同，这些差异具有统计学意义（p < 0.001）。此外，怀孕后报告的性满意度下降（p < 0.001）。怀孕后，大多数（71%）受访者的性生活次数减少，怀孕前后的性生活次数差异具有统计学意义（p < 0.001）。
怀孕对女性的性功能有重大影响。怀孕后，大多数女性表示对性生活的需求减少，性生活次数减少，满意度降低。
