- Abstract
Objective: To identify the gynecological and obstetrical profile of women who undergo the Pap smear in a population in Northeast Brazil. Methods: Descriptive study with a quantitative approach, carried out in basic health units between 2014 and 2018. Results: Of the total of 724 women assisted, 33.7% (n=244) were aged ≥48 years and 64.2% (n=465) self-declared brown. The most prevalent age group at menarche was 13 to 15 years old, with 46.1% (n=334), and that of coitarche was 16 to 18 years old, with 39.1% (n=283). The data also showed that 58.6% (n=424) had 1 to 5 pregnancies and 32% (n=232) reported their first pregnancy between 18 and 21 years old. Conclusion: Knowing the profile of this population is of paramount importance for identifying the main vulnerabilities of the group, so that health promotion, protection and recovery strategies are consistent with the reality experienced by these women.
