Abstract
Vulvodynia is often sadly neglected after delivery, despite its frequent comorbidity with dyspareunia in this vulnerable phase of a woman’s life. Although it is not the only sexual complaint occurring after delivery, dyspareunia is a problem that requires specific medical/gynecological attention to its biological basis, as well as careful evaluation of the delivery outcome and the condition of the pelvic floor.
