Key Points

  • Examine the impact of obstetric anal sphincter injury on women's sexual health postpartum.
  • Conducted a scoping review of existing literature on sexual health after OASI.
  • Identified key challenges and recommended interventions for healthcare providers.
  • Women experience increased sexual health issues following OASI during childbirth.
  • Open discussions about sexual health are often lacking but essential for recovery.

Women who sustain OASI during childbirth face an increased risk of postpartum sexual health issues. To mitigate these challenges, healthcare providers should encourage open discussions about sexual health and, when necessary, provide referrals to physiotherapy, couples therapy, or specialized sexological support.
