abstract = {Objectives: Pregnancy is a stage in which different physical and psychological changes
take place that can affect the sexuality of the couple. The aim of the study is to identify how
the physical and psychological changes derived from pregnancy affect the sexual desire of
women and men.
Methods: A systematic review of the literature was carried out in five databases, from
which a total of 16,126 documents were obtained. After applying the PRISMA selection
criteria, a total of 19 documents were selected.
Results: Levels of sexual desire fluctuate during pregnancy, being the second trimester of
gestation the period in which desire is at its highest and in which physical limitations and
emotional changes decrease. Women have lower levels of sexual desire in the first
trimester, while men have the lowest levels of desire in the third trimester.
Conclusion: Pregnancy is a stage marked by physiological and psychological changes
that modify several areas, including sexuality. Healthcare professionals should promote a
healthy sexuality, avoiding the appearance of fears or sexual dysfunctions caused by the
changes that occur during pregnancy.},
