Mindfulness counseling for body image and sexual health after birth
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether mindfulness-based counseling can help women feel better about their bodies, reduce sexual distress, and boost sexual confidence after having a baby with an episiotomy. If you are about 8 weeks postpartum and had a significant tear, this program may offer support.
