Although women with disabilities constitute a substantial segment of the population, their gynecologic health care needs often go unrecognized or untreated. Women with disabilities encounter a variety of obstacles to receiving health services including attitudinal, environmental, economic, and informational barriers. Standard screening and preventive services, such as pelvic examinations and mammograms, can be especially difficult to obtain, potentially placing women with disabilities at greater risk for diseases such as breast cancer and cervical cancer. This article reviews the current status of gynecologic care for women with disabilities and provides strategies for women's health care providers seeking to increase the accessibility of their practice settings.
尽管残疾女性占人口的很大一部分，但她们的妇科保健需求往往未得到认识或治疗。残疾女性在获得医疗服务时会遇到各种障碍，包括态度、环境、经济和信息方面的障碍。标准的筛查和预防服务，如盆腔检查和乳房X光检查，可能特别难以获得，这可能使残疾女性患乳腺癌和宫颈癌等疾病的风险更高。本文回顾了残疾女性妇科护理的现状，并为寻求提高其医疗机构可及性的女性医疗服务提供者提供了策略。
