Abstract

Objective: to know the experience of lesbian cis women during gynecological consultation. Method: this is a qualitative, exploratory research conducted with 47 lesbian cis women. Data collection took place from September to December 2020, through a semistructured online questionnaire via google forms®. The participants were captured by the snowball technique. Content analysis was used, and two categories were elaborated: "Experiences of lesbian cis women during gynecological consultation" and "Conductof health professionals during gynecological consultation". The research was approved by the Research Ethics Committee under number 4,338,421. Results: in the gynecological consultation, lesbian cis women presented fear, discrimination, prejudice, harassment and violence, including physical violence. In this sense, they had preference for care with female professionals and greater satisfaction when consulted by the nursing team. Cisheteronormative practices are predominant and pointed out as negative behaviors by health professionals. Conclusion: These experiences during gynecological consultation have as a consequence the discontinuity of health care, increasing the risk and vulnerability of lesbian cis women. This reflection is fundamental for the construction of care strategies that contemplate universal access to health and sexual rights.
