C-sections do not ‘protect sex life’

WOMEN who believe having a Caesarean birth will help protect their sex life after they have their baby should think again, a study revealed yesterday.

There is a widespread belief among the public and some doctors that women who have a surgical birth will experience fewer sexual problems than those who give birth naturally.

But a study, published in the journal Birth, has found that overall there is no difference in sexual health between the two groups.
