The purpose of the research was to find out mode about female sexual function index between primiparous after vaginal delivery and post-cesarean section.

There were 86 samples that are characterized as inclusion, which consist of 43 vaginal deliveries and 43 cesarean sections. After that, the sexual function was scored by filing in the FSFI (female sexual function index) questionnaires. The total score of the questionnaire was analyzed by having an independent test, the Chi square test to differ the subjective function, with a level of trust p ≤ 0.05. The character of the subject from the two groups appeared to be similar, for the result of the research could be ignored. The average period to have sexual intercourse for both groups is on the third month after the delivery.
