Previous international studies have elucidated signs of poor physical and mental health in women who have sex with women (WSW) and an avoidance of preventive healthcare. When the first Nordic gynecological clinic for WSW was started in Stockholm in 1999, an opportunity to compile information about their physical and psychological health and social situation arose.\n                    <jats:italic>Design.<\/jats:italic>\n                    Retrospective descriptive.\n                    <jats:italic>Setting and sample.<\/jats:italic>\n                    A total of 706 women: 264 patients attending a WSW clinic and 442 women attending the regular gynecological clinic.\n                    <jats:italic>Methods.<\/jats:italic>\n                    Questionnaires.

One\u2010fifth of WSW had been pregnant, and one in ten had given birth. Equally, many had experience of induced abortion. WSW had less experience of gynecological examination and Papanicolaou smear screening. More than one\u2010fifth of WSW had at some time had sexually transmitted infections (STI) and 12.6% reported a history of cervical atypia. WSW remembered dissatisfaction with their sexual lives during their youth and had more frequently sought professional help for their sexuality.\n                    <jats:italic>Conclusion.<\/jats:italic>\n                    WSW attend gynecological examinations to a lesser extent than heterosexual women. The fact that WSW reported having been affected by STI and cervical cell atypia underlines the opinion that they should be advised to attend the same gynecological check\u2010ups and cervical screening programs as heterosexual women.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3109\/00016340903490263","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,2,1]],"date-time":"2010-02-01T08:06:32Z","timestamp":1265011592000},"page":"205-209","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Reproductive health in lesbian and bisexual women in Sweden"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"89","author":[{"given":"LENA","family":"MOEGELIN","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"BO","family":"NILSSON","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"LOTTIE","family":"HELSTR\u00d6M","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","first-page":"93","article-title":"A community based lesbian sexual health service \u2013 clinically justified or politically correct?","volume":"25","author":"Carr SV","year":"1999","journal-title":"Br J Fam Plann"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2458-7-251"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/028134302321004845"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2648.2006.04018.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00508-004-0261-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.91.6.972"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/ewjm.172.6.379"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.91.6.947"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-3797(00)00192-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2006.05.024"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1300\/J013v45n04_06"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2006.086439"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0376-8716(93)90112-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0376-8716(99)00026-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.183.6.552"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_2","first-page":"116","article-title":"Lesbiska kvinnor p\u00e5 gynekologisk unders\u00f6kning","volume":"10","author":"Ryding EL","year":"1992","journal-title":"[Lesbian women at gynecological examination] Nordisk Sexologi"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_2","first-page":"277","article-title":"A case\u2010controlled study of sexual health needs of lesbians","volume":"72","author":"Skinner CJ","year":"1996","journal-title":"Genitourin Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"244","DOI":"10.1136\/sti.2003.007641","article-title":"Sexually transmitted infections in women who have sex with women","volume":"80","author":"Bailey JV","year":"2004","journal-title":"Sex Transm Infect"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.OLQ.0000091151.52656.E5"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.185.6.479"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_22_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/0956462011916721"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_23_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/sti.79.2.147"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_24_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2003.12.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_25_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007435-200202000-00010"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_26_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/sti.76.5.345"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_27_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/sti.2006.022277"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_28_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1188\/02.ONF.E1-E7"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_29_2","first-page":"261","volume-title":"Sex in Sweden.
