Cultural barriers can lead to several negative outcomes in gynecological care:
Delayed or Avoided Care: Cultural misunderstandings or discomfort may cause patients to delay seeking care or avoid it altogether, leading to worsened health conditions. Non-compliance: Patients may not follow medical advice or treatment plans if they conflict with their cultural beliefs or if they do not fully understand the instructions. Mistrust: A lack of cultural sensitivity can lead to mistrust between patients and providers, further hindering effective communication and care.
