Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
VAS satisfaction scale	8 week	Women's satisfaction with sexual life will be evaluated with the visual analog scale (VAS). It shows that women who score high on the scale, which is scored between 0 (very dissatisfied) and 10 (very satisfied), also have high sexual satisfaction.
Postpartum Sexual Life Quality Scale	8 week	The scale is still under development.
Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale	8 week	The Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX) is a 6-point Likert-type self-report scale and consists of 5 questions. This form reveals the capacity to reach orgasm, the feeling of satisfaction, vaginal wetness, arousal and sexual drive. Each question is scored from 1 to 6. The total score ranges from 5 to 30. Low scores indicate that the sexual response is satisfactory, strong and easy, while high scores indicate the presence of sexual dysfunction. The total scale score is formed by the sum of the scores of the scale items in the scale. The cut-off point of the scale was determined as 11. A score of 5 or more for each item indicates that there is a sexual dysfunction related to that item.
