Sexual health after childbirth in Dutch women: prevalence, associated factors and perceived need for information: a cross-sectional study

Midwives should inform women and their partners about these possible problems, taking into account birth-related factors, e.g. birth experience and perineal damage. Care providers should pay special attention to women with negative sexual experiences.
