description OBJECTIVE: to investigate female sexual function in women six months postpartum and to compare sexual function among women who had and who did not have severe maternal morbidity (SMM). METHOD: a cross-sectional study conducted with 110 women in the postpartum period, with and without SMM. Two instruments were used, one for the characterization of sociodemographic and obstetric variables and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) for sexual function. Univariate, bivariate and regression model analyses were performed. RESULTS: FSFI scores showed 44.5% of female sexual dysfunction, of which 48.7% were among women who had SMM and 42.0% among those who had not. There were significant differences between age (P=0.013) and duration of pregnancy (P<0.001) between women with or without SMM. Among the cases of SMM, hypertensive disorders were the most frequent (83%). An association was obtained between some domains of the FSFI and the following variables: orgasm and self-reported skin color, satisfaction and length of relationship, and pain and SMM. CONCLUSION: white women have greater difficulty in reaching orgasm when compared to non-white women and women with more than 120 months of relationship feel more dissatisfied with sexual health than women with less time in a relationship. Women who have had some type of SMM have more dyspareunia when compared to women who have not had SMM.
