Resumen
Objetivo: Describir la afectación del patrón de sexualidad/reproducción de las mujeres con cáncer ginecológico y la educación sanitaria recibida al respecto. Metodología: Revisión de 80 artículos de calidad valorada por la guía CASPe publicados entre el año 2000 y la actualidad. Resultados: Las mujeres con cáncer ginecológico presentan diversos problemas sexuales dentro y fuera de las fases del ciclo de la respuesta sexual humana. La información que reciben de los profesionales sanitarios es tipo biomédico y escasa. La falta de educación, experiencia y los sentimientos de incomodidad hacia este tema, entre otros, son las razones por las que los profesionales de salud eluden la sexualidad en las pacientes con cáncer ginecológico. Conclusiones: El cáncer ginecológico y sus tratamientos alteran la sexualidad de las mujeres afectadas. La falta de información y las barreras existentes entre paciente y enfermera para abordar este ámbito deben solventarse para conseguir una atención integral y holística.

Conclusions: Gynecological cancer and its treatments alter the sexuality of women affected. The lack of information and the many barriers that stand between the patient and the nurse to deal with this field must be overcome in order to achieve a comprehensive and holistic care.
