EVIDENCIA CIENTÍFICA SOBRE LAS EXPERIENCIAS DE LOS HOMBRES TRANSEXUALES EN EL EMBARAZO

Autoría SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

RESUMEN

Objetivo:

analizar la evidencia científica sobre las experiencias de los hombres transexuales embarazados.

Método:

estudio descriptivo, tipo revisión bibliográfica integradora, sin corte temporal, realizado en enero de 2021 en las siguientes bases de datos: Medline, CINAHL, LILACS, CUIDEN, SCOPUS, WoS, EMBASE, PSYCINFO y BDENF, en los idiomas portugués, inglés y español; utilizando los descriptores DeCS y MeSH: "Personas Transgénero", "Embarazo", "Reproducción", "Fertilización", "Inseminación", "Atención Prenatal", "Período Posparto", "Lactancia", "Aborto Espontáneo", "Aborto Habitual", "Salud Reproductiva" y "Atención a la Salud" y sus respectivos sinónimos. La elaboración de la pregunta guía fue realizada por la estrategia PICo: hombres transgénero (P - Población); experiencias durante el ciclo gravídico-puerperal (I - Interés); salud reproductiva y servicios de salud (Co - Contexto). La muestra final se sometió a la técnica de análisis temático.

Resultados:

se identificaron 1.011 estudios. Después del proceso de selección y la revisión por pares, 10 compusieron esta revisión. El análisis se ha centrado en dos categorías temáticas: "Ciclo gravídico-puerperal: desafíos y experiencias" y "Cuerpos embarazados: percepciones y relaciones sociales".

Conclusión: l

as experiencias de hombres transexuales embarazados están marcadas por inquietudes relacionadas a la gestación, el parto, el nacimiento y el puerperio, ocasionando impactos psicológicos y/o emocionales inesperados, evidenciando la cisheteronormatividad y la transfobia como aspectos estructurales que incorporan una parcela adicional al miedo del parto y violaciones de derechos.

	Thematic categorization	Synthesis of the experiences of pregnant transsexual men
C1	Pregnancy-puerperal cycle: challenges and experiences (E3, E5, E6, E9, E10)	It is noticed that interruption of using testosterone often contributes to the appearance of anguish, loss of muscles, lack of energy, intense mood changes, weight gain, breast growth and sensitivity, nausea, stress, anxiety and even depression as a result of changes in the body resulting from the pregnancy process, bringing with it significant psychological and emotional impacts.^17-18,25 It was also revealed that heterocisnormativity and LGBTphobic violence in the context of health services contribute to the increase in fear of childbirth among transgender men.^16,18,24 Breastfeeding during the puerperal period for those who have a breast becomes deeply distressing and, combined with a feeling of postpartum isolation, many participants specifically mentioned having postpartum depression.^17-18 However, there is also the conviction that breastfeeding is a political and positive act for the father-baby binomial.²⁰ In addition, pregnancy fulfills the dream of becoming a father.¹⁸
C2	Pregnant bodies: perceptions, representations and social relationships (E1, E2, E4, E7, E8)	It is noticed that the recognition of male gender identity becomes fundamental for promoting emotional security, well-being and quality of life during pregnancy, making transgender men able to even publicly affirm their condition of being pregnant.^{16, 19} However, some reports bring the use of pregnancy concealment strategies to the public as a protection strategy in the face of a context of transphobic violence, causing them to grow beards, be careful to limit weight gain, use large jackets and sweaters.^17,19
