Postpartum women experience many biological, psychological, and relational changes that can greatly impact their sexual function. Women are often ill-informed about what to expect regarding normal sexual function; much of the research is therefore focused on perceived sexual dysfunction. Postpartum care providers should discuss normal sexual changes in the postpartum period, actively elicit sexual health concerns from patients, and provide targeted treatment strategies.
