Article Abstract

Objectives: to analyze sexual dysfunction in women in the late postpartum period and correlate it with sexual satisfaction.

Methods: this is a cross-sectional study conducted with 351 women in the late postpartum period, linked to the Family Health Strategy. Three questionnaires were used for data collection. Inferential analysis was performed using Pearson's correlation and Student's t-tests.

Results: the prevalence of dysfunction was 96.2%, and no statistically significant difference was found when considering the mode of delivery (p>0.05). Sexual dysfunction was present in all domains of sexual function (p<0.05), and a significant difference was observed between sexual satisfaction scores and the presence of dysfunction (p<0.05).

Conclusions: there was a high prevalence of sexual dysfunction in the late postpartum period, with no correlation to the mode of delivery. The dysfunction affected all domains of sexual function and negatively influenced women's sexual satisfaction.

However, there is an emerging wealth of evidence that this fat-soluble vitamin has an important role in male sexual health regarding erectile function, production of testosterone, and overall fertility. Due to the increased vitamin D deficiency rates in most populations, the implications of its deficiency on male sexual functions have gained great interest.
