Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

1. transperineal pelvic floor ultrasound applied for the submitted 120 women "primiparae" (40 women after normal vaginal delivery), (40 women after urgent cesarean section), (40 women after elective cesarean section), in early postpartum period (48 to 72) hours postpartum, to evaluate levator ani morphology.
2. answering of the validated female sexual function index (F.S.F.I) three months postpartum period for same cases submitted to ultrasound.
