| Popis: | BACKGROUND: Pregnancy and childbirth increase the risk for pelvic floor dysfunction, including sexual dysfunction. So far, the mechanisms and the extent to which certain risk factors play a role remain unclear. OBJECTIVES: In this systematic review of the literature we aimed to determine risk factors for sexual dysfunction in the first year after childbirth. SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched MEDLINE, Embase and CENTRAL using the search strategy: sexual dysfunction AND obstetric events. SELECTION CRITERIA: We included original, comparative studies, reported in English, that used validated questionnaires and the ICS/IUGA terminology for sexual dysfunction, dyspareunia and vaginal dryness. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: We assessed the quality and the risk of bias of the included studies with the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. We extracted the reported data and we performed random-effects meta-analysis to obtain the summary odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Heterogeneity across studies was assessed using the I2 statistic. MAIN RESULTS: Anal sphincter injury was associated with increased odds for both sexual dysfunction (OR 3.00, 95%CI 1.28-7.03) and dyspareunia (OR 1.92, 95% CI 1.47-2.52). Episiotomy was associated with dyspareunia (OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.25-2.14), but not with sexual dysfunction (OR 1.90, 95% CI 0.94-3.84). Compared with spontaneous birth, caesarean section reduced the odds for dyspareunia (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.54-0.86) but not for sexual dysfunction (OR 1.14, 95% CI 0.89-1.46). Instrumental vaginal birth increased the odds for sexual dysfunction (OR 1.70, 95% CI 1.05-2.76), yet no difference was found for dyspareunia (OR 1.82, 95% CI 0.88-3.75). One study of low quality reported on vaginal dryness and found no association with obstetric events. CONCLUSIONS: Perineal trauma, rather than mode of birth, increases the odds for sexual dysfunction in the first year after childbirth. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: Perineal trauma, rather than mode of birth, correlates with sexual dysfunction and dyspareunia postpartum. #dyspareunia #OASI #episiotomy. ispartof: BJOG-AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNAECOLOGY vol:129 issue:7 pages:1017-1028 ispartof: location:England status: published |
