“…[35] Another study stated that personal beliefs may affect sexuality and reduce the frequency of sexual intercourse during pregnancy when compared to pre-pregnancy period. [36] According to our data, it can be speculated that partners with low educational level and women who experienced preconceptional sexual disorders have a higher risk of suffering from sexual dysfunction during pregnancy. Therefore, counseling these population about sexuality may help to improve sexual functions by correcting the misbeliefs on this issue.…”

Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence and associated factors of female sexual dysfunction together with the concerns of women about sexuality during pregnancy. Material and methods:A total of 207 healthy, sexually active pregnant women were enrolled in the study. Demographic data of all participants were noted and sexual functions were evaluated by Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Each FSFI domain score was calculated and mean scores were noted. Concerns of women about sexuality were also investigated.Results: Mean age of participant women was 27.0±5.9 (range 15-44) years. Prevalence of sexual dysfunction was found to be 87% in study population. Mean FSFI score was 18.6±1.21. The rate of sexual dysfunction was higher in the first (87%) and third (92.6%) trimesters when compared to the second (80.6%) trimester (p=0.243). Among demographic variables, education levels of partners and preconceptional sexual dysfunction were found to be significantly related to FSD. The most common concerns of women about sexual relationship have been reported as the fear of having pain (35%), risk of abortion (21.3%) and religious factors (10%). Conclusion:Prevalence of sexual dysfunction is relatively high among pregnant women. Educational levels and preconceptional sexual functions were found to have an impact on this high rate. Accurate counseling of partners about sexuality during pregnancy may help to reduce misbeliefs, concerns and, thereby, decrease this high rate of female sexual dysfunction.

Our results are in agreement with these previous reports showing that the coital activity diminished once the pregnancy was confirmed.…”

The aim of the study was to evaluate the sexual functions during pregnancy using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire. Pregnancies were recorded in a prospective cohort study comprising 40 healthy pregnant women. Pregnant women who had a stable relationship with their partner were enrolled in the study when were first diagnosed to be pregnant. During their antenatal visits, subjects were asked to complete the FSFI questionnaire and other information about their sexual life in each trimester. Each FSFI domain score was calculated and mean scores in each domain were compared according to the trimesters of pregnancy. Data of 37 subjects for the first, 36 for the second and 34 for the third trimesters of pregnancy were eligible for the analysis. The mean age was 25.574.5 y; mean parity was 0.470.7 and mean gravity was 1.670.9. The frequency of intercourse attempts during the last 4 weeks was 8.673 before pregnancy, and 6.972.5, 5.472.6 and 2.571.4 in the first, second and third trimesters of pregnancy, respectively. In all domains of FSFI, significant decline in domain scores was determined during pregnancy. The comparison of satisfaction and pain domain scores between first and second trimesters showed significant differences. All of the domain scores significantly decreased in the third trimester of pregnancy. Our results showed that sexual functions are significantly decreased during pregnancy and worsen as the pregnancy progresses. Childbearing couples should be given information about the sexual problems and fluctuations in the patterns of sexuality during pregnancy.

Lo que quedó bien establecido es que las creencias y concepciones de los varones se vinculan con las prácticas sexuales que realizan con sus cónyuges en el embarazo, determinando su frecuencia, forma, exclusividad e intensidad.…”
