Clinical Trial Summary
Postpartum sexual functions may be affected in women who have had a vaginal delivery by
performing an episiotomy. The aim of this study is to compare the frequency of sexual
dysfunction between women who were delivered with a mediolateral episiotomy and those who
were delivered without an episiotomy.
Materials and Methods: A total of 179 women who gave birth in a tertiary center were included
in the prospective study. The patients were divided into two groups as women with and without
mediolateral episiotomy. The groups were compared in terms of age, body mass index,
educational status, and hospitalization time for delivery and Arizona sexual experiences
scale (ASEX).
Description:
All patients were called up for a control in 6th month after delivery and sexual funciton was
evaluated according to The Arizona Sexual Experience Scale (ASEX). In our study, we used the
ASEX test, age, education level, BMI and time spent in hospital for delivery to investigate
sexual dysfunction in healthy women who had a vaginal delivery with or without mediolateral
episiotomy. The ASEX test is a 5-question survey. In the questionnaire, women were questioned
for sexual drive, arousal, vaginal lubrication, ability to reach orgasm, satisfaction from
the orgasm. Women gave points from 1 to 6 and their results were recorded.
