Lesbianas: mujeres iguales, mujeres diferentes. Aproximación a sus percepciones de salud ginecológica, sexual y reproductiva.

Abstract

Introducción: La atención sanitaria hacia las mujeres se centra principalmente en su salud ginecológica y reproductiva. Está dirigida hacia las mujeres heterosexuales, sus relaciones coitales y la gestación, y no tiene en cuenta otras prácticas y aspectos de la salud. En los últimos años las mujeres lesbianas se han hecho más visibles en la sociedad, recordando que no se debe centrar la sexualidad únicamente en el coito vaginal y demandando su deseo de ser madres. Objetivos: Con este estudio pretendemos acercarnos a las percepciones que las mujeres lesbianas tienen sobre su salud sexual y reproductiva, y tratar de determinar los factores que influyen en el cuidado de su salud y su relación con el sistema sanitario. Metodología: Para este fin se llevó a cabo un estudio cualitativo entre mujeres lesbianas de diferentes edades. Las técnicas de recogida de datos utilizadas fueron la entrevista en profundidad y el grupo de discusión. Resultados: Los resultados muestran que las mujeres se sienten seguras ante el riesgo de contagio de infecciones de transmisión sexual, además expresan sus dificultades para revelar su identidad sexual a los profesionales sanitarios así como sus problemas para acceder a la maternidad. Conclusiones: Concluimos con la idea de la necesidad de una mayor formación sobre diversidad y prácticas sexuales dirigida a los profesionales sanitarios, así como la realización de más investigaciones sobre la salud ginecológica, sexual y reproductiva de este grupo de la población. Abstract: Introduction: Health care to women is mainly focused on their gynecological and reproductive health. It is directed toward heterosexual women, their coital relations and the gestation, and doesn´t consider other practices and health issues. In recent years, lesbian women have become more visible in society, recalling that should not focus solely on sexual vaginal coitus and demanding their desire of being mothers. Objetives: With this study we try to be closer to lesbian women´s perceptions about their sexual and reproductive health, as well as trying to determine the factors that influence their health care and their relationship with the health system. Methodology: For this purpose was carried out a qualitative study among lesbian women of different ages. Techniques of collected data used were in-depth interview and discussion group. Results: The results show that lesbians feel safe at the risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections; in addition they express their difficulties to reveal their sexual identity to healthcare professionals as well as problems accessing maternity. Conclusions: We conclude with the idea of the need for greater diversity and sexual health training for professionals, as well as further research on gynecological, sexual and reproductive health of this group of population.
