| This study compares episiotomies and second-degree perineal tears on postpartum sexual function, focusing on the delay in resuming sexual intercourse and its impact on sexual health. There were no major differences in sexual health dimensions between women with episiotomy and second-degree tear, except for a longer resumption of sexual activity after episiotomy. |
