Abstract

Visits to the emergency department are often a difficult time for LGBTQIA+ people, mainly because of the frequent discrimination in healthcare environments and the lack of knowledge of medical and nursing staff. This article begins by presenting some epidemiological features, before discussing specific issues such as contraception and fertility, hormone therapy, sexually transmitted infections, surgical complications, psychiatric pathologies, and traumatology, from the perspective of the emergency physician. Finally, suggestions for further reflection and improvement are proposed.
