Brief summary
Gynaecological check-ups for women are recommended in France. However, some groups of the population are affected by a lack or absence of medical surveillance. In France, there are one million people with an intellectual disability, including 50,000 with Down syndrome. Although this disability causes numerous physical and psychological deficits, no gynaecological consequences have yet been demonstrated. Regular gynaecological check-ups are therefore necessary, according to French recommendations. However, several studies have shown that women with mental illness receive less or no gynaecological care.
Detailed description
The aim is to describe the gynaecological follow-up of women with Down syndrom in France.
