RESUMEN
La función sexual femenina siempre ha estado en la mitad de la polémica de la
anticoncepción hormonal. Los efectos específicos de la píldora en la sexualidad
femenina no son ni bien conocidos, ni bien entendidos. De hecho, de los miles de
estudios científicos referentes a la anticoncepción hormonal pocos han evaluado su
repercusión en la función sexual femenina. En este artículo se examinan los posibles
efectos de los anticonceptivos hormonales orales combinados, hormonales no orales
combinados (parche y anillo), y de los hormonales con solo progestinas (AHSP) (oral,
implante, inyección, DIU).
Para ello hemos revisamos la literatura en Ingles por PubMed en los últimos 20 años.
La mayor parte de los estudios revisados se centra, principalmente, en la determinación
de hormonas y en el funcionamiento sexual y no en otros aspectos de la sexualidad.
Hasta la fecha hay pocos datos que justifiquen una indicación u otra. Por ello, la
individualización, junto con los resultados clínicos, debe basar la creación de algoritmos
que puedan satisfacer las preferencias sexuales y las relaciones individuales.
La aceptabilidad sexual debería ser un punto imprescindible en la prescripción de
anticonceptivos. Aún hacen falta más estudios que documenten la aceptación sexual
de los métodos para las mujeres y sus parejas.
