Studies about the effect of mode of delivery in postpartum sexual function have shown inconsistent results, perpetuating the idea that a cesarean delivery has fewer consequences for women's sexuality. This systematic review aims to examine the role of mode of delivery in sexual health after childbirth. The published studies are scarce and quite heterogeneous. Any study has found a solid association between the mode of delivery and specific effects in long-term postpartum sexuality. In light of this review, cesarean delivery does not seem to be associated with a protective effect in female postpartum sexuality
