The over risks and benefits of vaginal versus cesarean delivery should be a subject of continued debate, involving a broad range of physical and psychological factors.

This was a cross section study conducted on 400 participants, 200 who had normal vaginal delivery [NVD] and 200 who had caesarian section [CS]. Participants were enrolled from the primary health centers and units in Qalubia government, participant were asked to fill a self-reported questionnaire of female sexual function index [FSFI].the results showed that all sexual domains and total FSFI were significantly decreased in normal vaginal group [NVD] group compared to caesarian section[CS] group .In conclusion, significant decrease in the FSFI score in NVD group more than CS group, this need more and more studies to strength this result.
