Working vitally after your delivery

After childbirth, very often complaints arise in the areas of pelvic floor and sexuality. These are usually not discussed in depth since the care at the obstetrician or gynecologist has already been completed before these complaints arise. The woman who has just given birth often doesn’t get around to seeking help for her symptoms herself, or she keeps muddling along under the guise of “it’s part of the deal. A standard check-up after childbirth of pelvic floor and sexuality, including screening of breastfeeding, contraception, relationship, family situation and psychological well-being, can prevent many problems in the short and long term.
