“…Satisfaction and orgasmic disorders occured in 7.3% and 9.7% of new mothers. 43 Because of unpleasant feelings during the first intercourse postpartum, women delay resuming active sexual life. In general, new mothers are advised to refrain from vaginal intercourse within 6 weeks after delivery.…”

BackgroundEpidemiological studies do not provide accurate statistics on the percentage of breastfeeding women experiencing sexual dysfunctions and restraining from sexual activity. The data vary between 40% and 83% in the first group and 20–50% in the second one. Despite excessive studies on contributors to intimacy changes, breast feeding received little attention from researchers. The relationship between lactation and postpartum sexual dysfunctions remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis will synthesise available data and establish the link between breast feeding and sexuality problems.Methods and analysisA comprehensive literature search will be performed in biomedical databases PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, EMBASE and CINAHL. We will extract peer-reviewed original studies written in English, Arabic or Polish from 2000 to June 2023. We will also search for reports from international health organisations and local health authorities. The preliminary search was performed on 04 April 2023. The studies must provide data on dysfunction prevalence/incidence and the strength of the relationship between breast feeding and sexuality in generally healthy women. The Covidence software will be used to perform literature screening, data extraction and quality assessment of individual studies. We will use a random-effects model meta-analysis to calculate pooled weighted frequency measures and effect size. Between-study heterogeneity will be assessed with the I2test.Ethics and disseminationThis meta-analysis does not require ethical approval because it synthesises data from previously published original studies. The final work will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at scientific conferences.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42023411053.

“…This disparity may be attributed to the additional reproductive health-related stressors that women face, such as concerns over pregnancy, childbirth, and contraception. 42 Furthermore, our analysis of specific sexual dysfunctions, namely sexual desire disorder and orgasmic dysfunction, revealed that these conditions were significantly more prevalent in female patients. The rates for women were nearly double those for men, with sexual desire disorder affecting 73.88% of women vs 47.33% of men, with orgasmic dysfunction mirroring these percentages.…”

Background There may be a higher risk of sexual dysfunction in the schizophrenia population. China has made significant contributions to the global community of patients with schizophrenia. Currently, there is no estimation of the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in Chinese patients with schizophrenia. Aim We conducted a meta-analysis to pool the evaluated prevalence of sexual dysfunction in Chinese patients with schizophrenia. Methods We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, PsycINFO, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Science and Technology Journal Database, Wanfang Medical Network, and Huayi Academic Literature Database from inception to September 2023. Meta-analysis was conducted with R version 4.3.1. Outcomes To examine the pooled prevalence of sexual dysfunctions among Chinese patients with schizophrenia. Results In our meta-analysis, we included 16 studies with 5417 participants, among whom 1727 experienced sexual dysfunction. The results of the meta-analysis reveal that the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in Chinese patients with schizophrenia is 50.43% (95% CI, 37.86%-62.95%). Subgroup analysis results indicate that various factors—including the specific type of dysfunction, duration of illness, assessment tools, mean ages, study region, gender, research setting, marital status, publication years, and type of antipsychotics—all have a particular impact on the occurrence rate of sexual dysfunction in Chinese patients with schizophrenia. Female patients had a slightly higher prevalence of sexual dysfunction than male patients (65.22% vs 54.84%). Clinical Implications The findings of this study can be used in high-quality nursing care for the schizophrenia population, particularly for the care of specific sexual dysfunction nursing. Strengths and Limitations This meta-analysis is the first to evaluate the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in China among patients with schizophrenia. The limited number of studies is the most important limitation. Conclusions The pooled prevalence of sexual dysfunction in Chinese patients with schizophrenia is relatively high, and the prevention and intervention of individual sexual dysfunctions in schizophrenia are advised.

Introduction Postpartum sexual health is indicated by a resumption of sexual activity as well as arousal, desire, orgasm, and sexual satisfaction. The issue of resuming sexual intercourse after childbirth has received limited attention because healthcare professionals rarely provide adequate care to postnatal women. The present study aimed to ascertain the overall prevalence of early resumption of sexual intercourse among most women. Methods Searches were conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, Google Scholar, African Journals Online, and the Cochrane Library. Data were extracted using Microsoft Excel, and STATA version 14 was used for analysis. Publication bias was checked by funnel plot, Egger, and Begg regression tests. A p-value of 0.05 was regarded to indicate potential publication bias. Using I2 statistics, the heterogeneity of the studies was evaluated. By country, a subgroup analysis was conducted. A sensitivity analysis was carried out to determine the effect of each study’s findings on the overall estimate. The random effects model was used to assess the overall effect of the study and then measured using prevalence rates and odds ratio with 95% CI. Results Twenty-one studies with 4,482 postpartum women participants were included in the study. The pooled prevalence of early resumption sexual intercourse among post-partum women was 57.26% (95% CI 50.14, 64.39) with significant heterogeneity between studies (I2 = 99.2%; P-value ≤ 0.000) observed. Current contraceptive use (AOR = 1.48, 95%CI = 1.03, 6.21), primipara (AOR = 2.88, 95%CI = 1.41, 5.89), and no history of severe genital injury on the last delivery (AOR = 2.27, 95%CI = 1.05, 4.93) were significantly associated with early resumption of sexual intercourse. Conclusion This study found that more than half of women resumed sexual intercourse early after giving birth. This suggests that a significant number of women may be at higher risk of unwanted pregnancies, short birth intervals, and postpartum sepsis. Thus, stakeholders should improve the integration of postpartum sexual education with maternal health services to reduce the resumption of postpartum sexual intercourse.
