Gebelik Esnasında Yapılan Cinsel Aktivitenin Doğum Eyleminin Başlamasına ve Doğum Komplikasyonlarına Etkisi
Abstract
Objectives: Instead of using medical drugs or methods to start labor, it was aimed to investigate the effect of sexual activity on the onset of labor as a natural method.
Materials and Methods: All pregnancies over 30 weeks that started active delivery were included in the study. Those who had no sexual activity in the last 12 weeks of pregnancy constituted the control group and pregnant women whose sexual activity continued until the last week constituted the study group. In addition to the demographic features of both groups, the birth week of the pregnant women, whether there was premature birth or postmaturity, induction use during labor, the time of the most recent sexual activity, and the frequency were questioned. A total of 800 patients were included in the study.
Results: Although the rate of cesarean and preterm labor was lower and the number of postmaturity deliveries was higher in the control group, this difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). However, it was observed that the number of inductions performed in the study group was significantly lower (p<0.05).
Conclusion: According to the study results, continuing sexual activity during pregnancy could decrease the need for labor induction.

Abstract
Amaç: Doğumu başlamak için tıbbi ilaçlar veya yöntemler kullanmak yerine, doğal bir yöntem olarak cinsel aktivitenin doğumun başlangıcına olan etkisinin araştırılması amaçlandı.
Materyal ve Metot: Çalışmaya aktif doğumu başlayan 30 haftayı aşan tüm gebelikler dahil edildi. Kontrol grubunu gebeliğin son 12 haftasında hiç cinsel aktivitesi olmayanlar oluştururken, son haftaya kadar cinsel aktiviteleri devam eden gebeler ise çalışma grubunu oluşturdu. Her iki grubun demografik özellikleri, doğum haftası, preterm eylem, postmatürite sayıları, travay esnasınada indüksiyon kullanımı, en son cinsel aktivite zamanı ve sıklığı sorgulandı. Çalışmaya toplam 800 hasta dahil edildi.
Bulgular: Kontrol grubunda sezaryen ve erken doğum oranı daha düşük ve postmatürite sayısı daha yüksek bulunmasına rağmen bu fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi (p> 0,05). Ancak çalışma grubunda uygulanan indüksiyon sayısının anlamlı olarak daha fazla olduğu görüldü (p <0.05).
Sonuç: Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre gebelik esnasında cinsel aktiviteye devam etmek doğumda yapılan indüksiyon sayısını azaltabilir.
