ABSTRACT

Objective: To know the degree of acceptance of vaginal autotomy and its relationship with psychosocial-cultural variables prevailing in Mexico.
Materials and Methods: Observational, prospective, cross-sectional and descriptive study, carried out between 2017 and 2018 in women in the state of Guanajuato. Questionnaires and interviews were applied before and after sampling by autotoma. Statistical analysis included measures of central tendency, measures of dispersion, frequencies and proportions. Differences between groups were analyzed with Wilcoxon and Student's t-tests.
Results: Eighty-five women with a mean age of 37.82 years (± 9.82) were studied. Although 75 participants stated that they were unaware of the procedure, 80 agreed to undergo it. It was found that the majority of women preferred autotoma to traditional gynecological inspection. Two opposite socio-psychological profiles were observed between women who prefer autotomy for "embarrassment" and those who opt for it because of its "ease".
Conclusions: Autotomography was a completely feasible sampling method in the context in which this research was conducted. Although psychosocio-cultural barriers were observed, autotoma was preferred among women who reported less frequent visits to the gynecologist, so it may be a strategy for women with low medical vigilance.
