Materiales y m\u00e9todos: se realiz\u00f3 b\u00fasqueda en las bases de datos PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, PopLine y Google Scholar, desde 1966 hasta julio de 2019. Se utilizaron los t\u00e9rminos: \u201cMenstrual\u201d AND \u201cCup\u201d OR \u201cCopa\u201d AND \u201cMenstrual\u201d. Se incluyeron estudios cuantitativos, cualitativos y mixtos, series y reportes de caso publicados en ingl\u00e9s y espa\u00f1ol que hubieran evaluado la copa menstrual en mujeres en edad reproductiva. Los estudios fueron seleccionados y los datos fueron extra\u00eddos por dos evaluadores de manera independiente. Como resultado primario se evalu\u00f3 la aceptabilidad y seguridad. La s\u00edntesis de informaci\u00f3n se presenta de manera narrativa. Resultados: se encontraron 737 t\u00edtulos para revisi\u00f3n inicial. Finalmente, se incluyeron 38 estudios. La copa menstrual tiene una aceptabilidad que var\u00eda entre el 35 y el 90 %. Del 10 al 45 % la encontraron dif\u00edcil de usar. Fue descrita como m\u00e1s c\u00f3moda comparada con el tamp\u00f3n y la toalla higi\u00e9nica de fabricaci\u00f3n industrial. La continuidad de su uso est\u00e1 entre el 48 y el 94 %. En cuanto a la seguridad se present\u00f3 un caso de s\u00edndrome de choque t\u00f3xico, uno de atrapamiento mec\u00e1nico, uno de alergia al producto y mayor riesgo de expulsi\u00f3n en usuarias del dispositivo intrauterino. Conclusi\u00f3n: la copa menstrual es una alternativa c\u00f3moda, segura y eficiente para la higiene menstrual. Se requieren m\u00e1s estudios controlados aleatorizados y cohortes prospectivas a largo plazo para determinar el riesgo de complicaciones por una exagerada colonizaci\u00f3n bacteriana o menstruaci\u00f3n retr\u00f3grada.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.18597\/rcog.3425","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,1]],"date-time":"2020-07-01T21:52:02Z","timestamp":1593640322000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Aceptabilidad y seguridad de la copa menstrual: revisi\u00f3n sistem\u00e1tica de la literatura"],"prefix":"10.18597","volume":"71","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1549-9556","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Camilo","family":"Arenas-Gallo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8250-4306","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriela","family":"Ram\u00edrez-Rocha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5456-3189","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laura Constanza","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-Hakspiel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1946-2569","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catalina","family":"Merlano-Alcendra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8548-7537","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniela","family":"Palomino-Su\u00e1rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2156-166X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Santiago","family":"Rueda-Espinel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"7913","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"84554","unstructured":"Liswood R.
