“…As mulheres, durante o período gestacional, podem se tornar vulneráveis às influências socioculturais, quando devem aceitar em seu corpo a geração de um ser. Ao mesmo tempo, esse corpo grávido deseja manter relações sexuais 4,23,[29][30][31] .…”

“…De acordo com a literatura, o desejo sexual aumenta do primeiro para o segundo trimestre e, em seguida, diminui novamente, à medida que a gravidez avança 4,23,24,29,30,32 . Confirmando esses achados, os resultados do presente estudo demonstraram que existe uma diminuição nos valores do escore do ISFS das gestantes do último trimestre quando comparado ao das gestantes do segundo trimestre.…”

“…As mudanças ocorridas no último trimestre da gravidez podem ser a razão para a diminuição da libido e da atividade sexual durante esse período gestacional 4,23,29,30 . O peso fetal e o volume abdominal aumentados causam alteração do centro de gravidade, alterando o equilíbrio e acarretando modificações posturais compensatórias.…”

“…Resultados semelhantes têm sido demonstrado por outros estudos, que sugerem que a frequência da atividade sexual tende a declinar durante a gestação, em relação ao período pré-gestacional e ao próprio período gestacional 3,4,[15][16][17]23,29,30,32,33 . Estudos enfatizam que a diminuição da frequência da atividade sexual pode ser decorrente do temor de prejudicar o feto, mal-estar e desconforto corporal e perda do interesse em atividade sexual.…”

semana gestacional. Observou-se diminuição significativa da frequência mensal do relacionamento sexual do casal, que passou de uma mediana de 12 para 4 vezes por mês (Z =-10,56; p<0,001). A disfunção sexual se mostrou presente em 35,7% das gestantes avaliadas, e a qualidade de vida dessas foi inferior quando comparada àquelas com função sexual sem alteração (Z=-2,87; p=0,004). CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados do presente estudo mostram que a disfunção sexual afetou negativamente a qualidade de vida de mulheres grávidas, devendo ser um aspecto relevante para ser avaliado durante as consultas de pré-natal. AbstractPURPOSE: To investigate the relationship between sexual function and quality of life in pregnant women living in two cities of Northeastern Brazil. METHODS: The sample consisted of 207 pregnant women. The data were collected through a questionnaire containing questions about socio-demographic, gynecological and obstetrical data, body and sexual knowledge. Quality of life was assessed by applying the Ferrans & Powers Quality of Life Index (QLI Ferrans and Power). Sexual function was assessed using the Female Sexual Function Index (IFSF). Data were statistically analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk, Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests. RESULTS: The pregnant women studied had a median age of 30 years (quartile 26-33 years) and were approximately at the 26 th gestational week. A significant decrease in the monthly frequency of sexual relations of the couple was observed, with a median of 12 to 4 times per month (Z=-10.56; p<0.001). Sexual dysfunction was detected in 35.7% of the pregnant women studied, whose quality of life was lower when compared to women with unchanged sexual function (Z=-2.9; p=0.004). CONCLUSION: The results of this study show that sexual dysfunction negatively affected the quality of life of pregnant women, and this should be an important aspect for review during prenatal consultations.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of a structured educational package based on ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation) to reduce sexual dysfunction during pregnancy.MethodsA randomized controlled trial study among pregnant women attending prenatal clinics in Tehran, Iran, from October 2017 to September 2018. The implementation group received the structured educational package; the control group received training on breastfeeding and normal delivery. The outcome measure was changes in total and domain scores of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire before and after the intervention; the groups were compared by repeated‐measures analysis of variance (ANOVA).ResultsOverall, 70 women completed the study: 36 in the intervention group and 34 in the control group. Sexual desire (P=0.019), arousal (P=0.001), lubrication (P=0.001), orgasm (P=0.001), satisfaction (P=0.007), and total FSFI score (P<0.001) improved significantly in the intervention group as compared with the control group. However, there was no difference in sexual pain after the intervention (P=0.78).ConclusionThe structured educational package was found to reduce sexual dysfunction by improving knowledge of and attitudes toward the physical and psychologic changes that occur during pregnancy among Iranian women attending routine prenatal care visits as part of a healthcare center's program.Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials: IRCT20140907019077N14.
