Mindfulness counseling for sexual well-being after childbirth tear
Part of Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether mindfulness-based counseling (focused awareness and relaxation) can help new mothers feel better about their bodies, reduce sexual distress, and boost confidence after childbirth with an episiotomy. If you had a deeper tear, this program might support your emotional and sexual recovery.
