Abstract:
The specific health issues faced by lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, and queer (LBPQ) individuals remain poorly understood, and these individuals are often marginalized in healthcare settings. A lack of training among healthcare professionals, the persistence of heteronormative and cisnormative standards, and an absence of specific data often contribute to inadequate care. This is particularly true regarding sexual and mental health, the identification and management of violence and discrimination, as well as appropriate preventive recommendations. Recognizing these issues can enable professionals to promote inclusive, respectful, and equitable care practices.
