On the occasion of International Day of Women, the Gay and Lesbian Action - Loiret decided to meet on February 28 last, Dr. Laurence Wittke, a doctor at Planned Parenthood of Orleans Source to s' maintenance everything you've always wanted to know and have never dared to ask on lesbian health, if little discussed in the media.

Here is a summary of the meeting:

GAGL: We want to talk about lesbian health because we feel that a lack of information few of them are followed by a gynaecologist, have you noticed, are you talking about sexual orientation with your patients ?

Dr LW: No, I did not pose the question.

GAGL: Monitoring is the same as for heterosexual women?

Dr LW: Yes, monitoring is the same.

GAGL: Risks by lack of monitoring are they the same?

Dr LW: Women in general have breasts and a uterus, so monitoring is recommended for all. The ideal is a gynecological consultation per year, but it is better to consult every three years than ever! We do not really know from how often prevention is effective or below which it is no longer.

GAGL: What are the main risks of infection for a woman? What cases do you most?

Dr LW: The most common are chlamydia, mostly without obvious symptoms, which can lead to sterility, "the treatment-minute, four tablets ingested simultaneously, east very effective. Then the vaginoses and fungal infections, which are not classified STI *, and just the imbalance of the vaginal flora, their treatment is very simple and effective. It was papillomavirus, which can develop condyloma and cancer of the cervix.

Screening for chlamydia is a levy when considering cervical or urinalysis, the papillomavirus are also tracks when considering the pass, by a smear. It is practiced from 25 years. Fortunately, the cure rate is over 99% when the papillomavirus is detected in time.

The most serious infections are hepatitis B and HIV, but compared to others, they are much more rare and it is therefore exceptional whatsoever that we do the diagnosis even if these tests are part of systematic assessments of STIs that we prescribe.

GAGL: lesbians are concerned by the human papillomavirus, which cause cancer of the cervix. The effectiveness of the vaccine Gardasil, which we see advertising on TV, guaranteed?

Dr LW: It does not protect against all forms of the virus and therefore against all cancers. In cases where it works, we do not yet have the hindsight to know whether it was valid over five years. We did not back either about the side effects and a real reduction in mortality from this disease. What is certain is that it reduces the number of cancer of the cervix.

GAGL: We are told that it is effective before this age, and prior to or within one year after the first reports, the advertising is rather directed hetero, they arising sex?

Dr LW: Indeed it is directed hetero, I do not know.

GAGL: Speaking of prevention is to follow a preventive role vis-à-vis breast cancer, what are the checks to be carried out, how often?

Dr LW: The ideal is an examination a year, consult as soon as there is a doubt! Good to know: there is an explosion in the number of cancers from fifty years, but it also diagnosed among young women.

GAGL: Autopalpation: Could you give us some advice?

Dr LW: This practice is no longer fashionable, some breasts are harder to review than others, it has mainly generated fears unjustified…

We will remain there this time, but we will soon for new adventures, along with other topics, which also apply to boys as AHR and homoparentalité.
