Acute genital ulcers (AGU) have numerous etiologies and are a frequent complaint in the emergency room. Its diagnosis is mostly clinical and initially approached in a syndromic manner. It is based on history, physical examination, and laboratory findings. It is known that genital ulcer can be the first manifestation of Behçet's disease (BD) and its early recognition can prevent clinical complications related to the disease and improve the patient's quality of life. The present article aims to report the case of a patient with an extensive and deep ulcerative lesion of the vulva, who was initially treated with acyclovir due to the suspicion of genital herpes. Subsequently, after the condition worsened and when adequate anamnesis was collected, diagnostic criteria for BD were identified and the correct treatment was started, with therapeutic success. From the above, it is essential that the gynecologist focuses on BD as one of the differential diagnoses for acute genital ulcer.

Background Sexual health access and care for women in the menopausal stages face significant barriers, presenting deficits in relation to diagnosis and treatment. Although epidemiological data indicate high prevalence of problems related to sexual health in this population, traditionally, the theme is not discussed in health care settings. This study aimed to analyze knowledge, practices and barriers to access sexual health of women in the menopausal stages in the context of women’s health care in Brazil. Methods With a cross-sectional design, a questionnaire was distributed electronically, encompassing variables related to knowledge; practices; and barriers to access sexual health of women in the menopausal stages. The data obtained were subjected to analysis using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Specifically, we employed multivariate analysis, employing multiple linear regression models, to discern potential factors associated with outcomes concerning the level of knowledge and the frequency of addressing the topic in professional practice. Results The sample included 70 physicians with specialization in obstetrician/gynecologists who work in health care with women in the menopausal transition or postmenopausal women. A high level of self-reported knowledge about sexual health was identified. Regarding the practices, most of them reported directly proposing the subject and not using instruments. Although they reported frequently addressing the topic in general, topics related to vaginal lubrication, dyspareunia, and sexual dysfunction have been more present in the clinic compared to sexual orientation and women’s relationship with themselves. The main barriers were time limitation and patient discomfort with the topic. The multivariate models indicated that female gynecologists and professionals with higher levels of knowledge on the subject had a higher frequency of addressing sexual health in clinical practice with women in menopausal stages. Conclusions Sexual health access and care for brazilian women in the menopausal stages presents discrepancies in the frequency of approach between the various topics, in addition to the predictive character of technical knowledge in the practices of professionals. To ensure universal access to sexual health services for this population, an active approach through specific instruments is important, as well as the reinforcement of strategies to improve the level of knowledge of professionals.

Trata-se de uma pesquisa metodológica, que objetivou verificar a usabilidade de uma cartilha educativa sobre corrimentos vulvovaginais e cuidados genitais pelo público-alvo. Para a avaliação da cartilha, pelo público-alvo, foi realizado um grupo focal com 10 mulheres, assistidas pela Estratégia de Saúde da Família, localizado na região do Cariri, no Estado do Ceará, Brasil. As opiniões emitidas pelas participantes foram analisadas mediante análise de conteúdo de Bardin e após foi avaliado o Índice de Legibilidade de Flesch. A tecnologia educacional avaliada foi considerada explicativa e interessante, proporcionou o entendimento do seu conteúdo e tem potencial para contribuir para a realização de boas práticas de autocuidado e higiene íntima. Conclui-se que a cartilha deste estudo pode ser considerada um recurso didático, podendo ser utilizada como tecnologia educacional em saúde para o autocuidado das mulheres e como suporte para os profissionais ao abordarem o assunto nas consultas ginecológicas, visitas domiciliares, encontros em grupo, para potencializar as informações já repassadas e contribuindo para a saúde pública.
