Abstract

Background and purpose: Longterm BREASTFEEDING is an important factor for women. Reverse effects of BREASTFEEDING regarding sexual activities have been reported. However, the impact of BREASTFEEDING, along with SEXUAL ACTIVITY of women during POSTPARTUM, is a debatable matter. This effect remains unknown in many societies such as Iran. SEXUAL ACTIVITY during BREASTFEEDING from women has not been studied. This study was carried out to compare the association of SEXUAL ACTIVITY of BREASTFEEDING and non-breastfeeding women within 2-6 months after birth.Materials and methods: In this historical cohort study, which was carried out in 2007, the SEXUAL ACTIVITY of BREASTFEEDING women was compared with 198 bottle-feeds women, who were referred to a public maternity health care center in Tehran. Women were recruited within the age of 20-35, being their first or second child and in 2-6 months after birth. A self-structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Women were interviewed face-to-face by the first author.Results: Of 456 respondents, 258 were currently BREASTFEEDING and 198 were bottle feed. Mean age of the mothers was 27±4.7 years. 28.3% of BREASTFEEDING women and 22.9% of non BREASTFEEDING women had sexual intercourse within the one month of POSTPARTUM period. There was no significant difference between the time of resumption of SEXUAL ACTIVITY and being breastfeed or not (p<0.07). Also, no significant difference was found between BREASTFEEDING and bottle-feed women on sexual desire and satisfaction prior to pregnancy and in POSTPARTUM period (p<0.1, p<0.5). In 49/8% of breastfeed and 43.3% of non breastfeed women, sexual desire was decreased and also in 32.6% and 33%, sexual satisfaction was decreased respectively. The orgasm experience did not have a significant difference between the two groups during POSTPARTUM (p=0.4) so that 65.7% of breastfeed women and 64% of non breastfeed women reached orgasm in POSTPARTUM period.Conclusion: We did not find a significant difference between BREASTFEEDING and non breastfeed women. Sexual history taking and counseling in antenatal class as well as POSTPARTUM period are suggested for clients.
