Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized, single-blind study enrolls pregnant women at 16–20 weeks and assigns them to either a two-session, face-to-face group sexual counseling intervention or a control group receiving routine care. Baseline data are collected before the intervention, with follow-up assessments before delivery (after week 37) and again three months postpartum. The counseling is delivered in groups up to week 22 and targets sexual myths, beliefs, and practical information to support sexual well-being. Women with high-risk pregnancies, chronic or psychiatric illnesses, IVF pregnancies, STIs, or on medications that affect sexual function are excluded.
