Abstract
Description
El presente artículo vincula la medicalización con anticonceptivos hormonales orales regulares femeninos y sus procesos de evaluación de riesgo (o risk assessment), temas de protagonismo creciente en los debates públicos de las últimas décadas. Desde esta perspectiva, diversos “paradigmas” se dibujan a lo largo de los años, en tanto formas de priorizar beneficios o efectos secundarios a la hora de comercializar o administrar “la píldora”, y que van de la mano, por supuesto, de la evolución de los modelos de salud sexual y reproductiva. Esta dimensión clave a estudiar pone de manifiesto el riesgo no solo como un dato objetivo sino, y sobre todo, como resultado del cruce de factores socioculturales, económicos y políticos. Dimensión que se inscribe, a su vez, en una amplia bibliografía que ha problematizado la anticoncepción hormonal femenina entre su
cualidad liberadora de la mujer y su rol perpetuador de desigualdades de género.
The following paper links the medicalization with daily oral hormonal feminine contraception and its process of risk assessment, issues whose importance has grown in the public debates of the last decades. From this point of view, diverse “paradigms” get shaped across the time, as ways of prioritizing benefits or side effects in the commercialization or administration of the “pill”. Those go together, of course, with the evolution of sexual and reproductive health models. This capital dimension of analysis, brings to light the risk, not only as an objective fact, but also and mostly as a result of the intersection of socio-cultural, economic and politic factors. Dimension which takes also place in a vast literature that questions the feminine hormonal contraception, its liberalizing quality for women and its role perpetuating gender inequalities.
