Postpartum care: clinical considerations for improving genital and sexual health
Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol. 2024 May;296:250-257. doi: 10.1016/j.ejogrb.2024.02.037. Epub 2024 Feb 21. PMID: 38484617
The postpartum period encompasses the biological and psychoaffective transition to motherhood. However, it remains a most neglected phase in a woman's life. Furthermore, the transition to parenthood is a critical and potentially disrupting factor in a couple's relationship, which can be complicated by undiagnosed biological and psychosexual difficulties. Lack of recognition of the many biological and medical factors that can affect women's health and sexuality in the postpartum period is a common and persistent clinical omission worldwide...

The role of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis and comorbidities in the etiology of vestibulodynia: data from the Vu-Net Study
J Gynecol Women’s Health 22(3). doi: 10.19080/JGWH.2021.22.556087
Women with provoked vestibulodynia (PVD) are more likely to report a history of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and recurrent VVC (RVVC). This observational Italian study was undertaken to analyze how many women with PVD have an RVVC as a leading trigger and to describe predisposing factors...
