Abstract
(en) [Sexual desire in post-partum period] The post-partum period is defined as starting from 2 hours after the birth and continues for 6 weeks. During this time, mothers experience a wide range of physiological, emotional and hormonal upheavals but these alone do not provide an explanation for the sexual difficulties experienced in the post-partum period. This article explores the reasons for these sexual difficulties with a particular focus on the social and cultural factors that influence, either consciously or subconsciously, the libido of these women. It is proposed that a proactive and direct approach during consultations in the post-partum period will enable couple to re-engage in an enjoyable and meaningful sexuality.
