Resumen
Analiza las formas en que las microviolencias de género se materializan en el acto médico y repercuten en el cumplimiento cabal del derecho a la salud de las mujeres. Trabaja metodológicamente con estudios de casos entrevistando a cuatro mujeres que se sometieron a un proceso quirúrgico ginecológico llamado histerectomía (extracción de su sistema sexual total o parcial), con el fin de identificar las manifestaciones concretas de estas microviolencias en la práctica médica, así como las argumentaciones desde donde se justifica ese ejercicio de poder por parte del sistema médico.
Determina la manera en que las prácticas experimentadas inciden en el cumplimiento del derecho a la salud, enfatizando en dos de sus componentes más relevantes: el acceso a la información para la toma de decisiones y el principio de autonomía corporal.
Concluye que persisten sesgos de género en el discurso médico que justifican las microviolencias en la práctica profesional, en este caso la visión reproductivista heteronormativa en el abordaje de la salud ginecológica de las mujeres, así como la mirada medicalizadora de sus malestares.
It analyzes the ways in which gender microviolences are materialized in the medical act and have repercussions on the full fulfillment of women's right to health. Methodologically works with case studies interviewing four women who underwent a gynecological surgical procedure called hysterectomy (total or partial removal of their sexual system), in order to identify the concrete manifestations of these microviolences in medical practice, as well as the arguments from which this exercise of power by the medical system is justified. It determines the way in which the practices experienced have an impact on the fulfillment of the right to health, emphasizing two of its most relevant components: access to information for decision-making and the principle of bodily autonomy. It concludes that gender biases persist in the medical discourse that justify microviolences in professional practice, in this case the heteronormative reproductive vision in the approach to women's gynecological health, as well as the medicalizing view of their discomfort.
