Lesbians and bisexual women encounter barriers to health care that include concerns about confidentiality and disclosure, discriminatory attitudes and treatment, limited access to health care and health insurance, and often a limited understanding as to what their health risks may be. Health care providers should offer quality care to all women regardless of sexual orientation. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists endorses equitable treatment for lesbians and bisexual women and their families, not only for direct health care needs, but also for indirect health care issues.
女同性恋者和双性恋女性在获得医疗保健方面会遇到障碍,包括对保密性和披露的担忧、歧视性态度和待遇、获得医疗保健和健康保险的机会有限,以及对她们可能面临的健康风险的了解有限。医疗保健提供者应该为所有女性提供优质的护理,无论其性取向如何。美国妇产科医师学会不仅认可女同性恋者和双性恋女性及其家庭的直接医疗需求,也认可她们的间接医疗问题,主张对她们进行公平对待。
