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

Background: After childbirth, women often experience changes in sexual health. Little is known about the associated factors for the development of sexual health problems. Therefore, in this study we aim to investigate (1) how many women report changes in sexual health; (2) the prevalence and associated factors of women's postpartum sexual health problems and (3) whether women want to be better informed about postpartum sexual health after childbirth.
