Abstract

exual health is an important part of the quality of life of women. Although female sexual dysfunction is common, it is under diagnosed and undertreated. Sexual health after childbirth is a relatively new research interest. There is inconsistent evidence about the role of mode of delivery on sexual health outcomes. Data on the relationship between mode of delivery and postpartum sexual dysfunction are very heterogenic and unsatisfying. Caesarean section rates increasing for the last two decades in the world due to the perception that it might be protective to good sexual function.
