Palabras clave:
Gynecology, holistic care, mental health, psychological well-being, reproductive health, women healthResumen
Introduction: the intersection between gynecology and mental health is a crucial, yet often underappreciated, aspect of women's healthcare. Various gynecologic conditions and treatments have significant psychological implications, highlighting the need to integrate mental health into gynecologic care.
Objective: to explore the psychological dimensions of gynecologic health.
Methods: a systematic review of relevant literature was conducted using databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science. Specific keywords, including “Gynecology,” “Mental Health,” and “Holistic Approach,” were used to identify studies on the psychological dimensions of women's health. After a rigorous screening process, 38 articles that met the inclusion criteria were included, providing a comprehensive analysis of the psychological aspects of gynecologic health.
Conclusions: the review highlights the profound impact of hormonal influences, reproductive challenges, and gynecologic cancers on mental well-being, demonstrating the need for holistic care in gynecology. Cultural and socioeconomic factors also influence access to mental health support, reinforcing the need to integrate mental health into gynecologic care. Recommendations include expanding mental health screening and promoting a multidisciplinary approach to improve outcomes and address the unique health care needs of women.
