Objetivo: O estudo teve como objetivo identificar na literatura as abordagens de saúde sobre sexualidade e gênero na saúde do homem. Métodos: Para tanto, optou-se por realizar uma revisão integrativa utilizando-se as bases de dados LILACS, PUBMED e SCIELO, estudos em língua portuguesa, inglesa e espanhola, disponíveis na íntegra e publicados no período de 2015 a 2019. A amostra do estudo foi composta de 11 artigos, construindo duas categorias temáticas: Abordagens de gênero na saúde do homem e Abordagens de sexualidade, saúde sexual, reprodutiva e paternidade na saúde masculina. Resultados: Os artigos evidenciaram um compêndio de conhecimentos importantes sobre a saúde do homem, identificando que as abordagens de gênero e sexualidade masculina são influenciadas pelo contexto sociocultural de estereótipo de identidade masculina com a necessidade da ressignificação do ser homem no contexto de saúde no Brasil. Considerações Finais: Portanto, recomenda-se a atenção a essas ações no âmbito da atenção básica de saúde, almejando-se atuações com foco nas singularidades e vulnerabilidades masculinas, os cuidados para a promoção de saúde dessa população e estímulo ao envolvimento enquanto sujeito produtor de saúde da família, proporcionando maior participação e empoderamento do homem na saúde.
