However, these changes can also cause discomforts, such as lumbopelvic pain (LPP), which affects approximately 63% of pregnant women, mainly during the second and third trimesters. LPP has a multifactorial origin and is associated with weight gain, postural changes, ligamentous laxity, and pelvic instability, negatively impacting quality of life and daily activities. Moreover, sexual function can also be affected during pregnancy, even in low-risk women. Sexual dysfunctions—such as decreased desire, pain, and dissatisfaction—are frequently linked to pelvic floor muscle changes, which are common during pregnancy. Despite its clinical relevance, there is still a lack of studies directly relating LPP to sexual function, indicating an important gap to be explored. Objective: To investigate the relationship between lumbopelvic pain and sexual function in low-risk pregnant women. Methodology: This study was observational, cross-sectional in design, and included 56 pregnant women. The sample was non-probabilistic, selected by convenience, and composed of participants from the Prenatal Courses offered by UFRN. The instruments used included an evaluation form with sociodemographic, obstetric, and gynecological data, a questionnaire developed by the researchers to assess lumbopelvic pain, and the Pregnancy and Sexual Function Questionnaire (PSFQ), validated for the Brazilian population, focusing on variables such the sexual desire and vaginal pain during sexual intercourse. Results: Most participants had completed higher education (87.5%) and had a family income above four minimum wages (61.73%). The majority of pregnant women were in the second trimester of pregnancy (66.67%). The prevalence of lumbopelvic pain was 76.78%, with moderate intensity being the most reported. A reduction in the frequency of sexual desire was observed throughout pregnancy, along with an increase in vaginal pain, especially during the third trimester. Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between the presence of LPP and pain during sexual intercourse in the third trimester (p = 0.023), suggesting that LPP may negatively affect sexual function during this period. Conclusion: It is concluded that there was a relationship between lumbopelvic pain and sexual pain in the third trimester of pregnancy in low-risk women. These findings reinforce the importance of considering LPP as a potential factor in the impairment of sexual function, especially in the final stage of pregnancy, and highlight the need for multidisciplinary approaches in prenatal care.
