Sex after childbirth gives pain: Study

sex after childbirth 64
Is sex a nine-day wonder? If seen from the eyes of a new study then we can say, yes! It is. A new study by British researchers, after interviewing about 500 women who had stayed in maternity units in Birmingham, England, has come out rectifying this view.

According to the study published in the journal of Clinical Nursing, 87 per cent of the women complained of at least one health problem, in which sex-related problems were most common. Telling more about sex-related problem Amanda Williams, a midwife at Birmingham’s Perinatal Institute, said:

The most common problems were sex-related, followed by urinary incontinence. 19% of the mothers who had Caesareans reported painful intercourse, followed by 34% who had a normal birth and 36% who had an instrument-assisted birth.

Telling further Williams said:

The study also found sex-related problems were highest among instrument-assisted births at 77 percent and lowest among Caesareans at 51 percent. Sixty-four percent of women having normal births reported at least one problem related to sex.

On the basis of this study, it could be asserted that after giving birth, women definitely fail to have sexual pleasure. However, there is good news too, according to which this phase goes on just for a year, which confirms the fact that at least, after one year they can once again dive deep into the sea of pleasure that comes only from sex.
