Is it Possible to Increase the Quality of Sexual Life After Spontaneous Birth?

The decrease in number of vaginal births may also be due to the discomfort caused by the episiotomy wounds.

Episiotomy wounds are characterized by discomfort, stinging, vulvodynia.

The decrease in immunity, the increase in vaginal pH during pregnancy and pregnancy, can cause the appearance of bacterial vulvovaginitis and can lead to poor healing of the episiotomy wound.

The patients will be initially evaluated by means of a questionnaire at 24 hours postpartum and then reevaluated at 7 days, when the suture material is removed, by completing the same questionnaire. Bacteriological vaginal secretion examination will also be collected both at 24 hours postpartum and at 40 days.

Visual scales will also be used (REEDA scale, VANCOUVER), at 7 days and at 40 days.

Thus, starting from the question, is postpartum sexual life influenced by episiotomy wounds, we will try to find an answer to this question by applying a questionnaire prepared by us.
